J J'S RANGER (2) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. PATRIOT HILLS (7) finished second, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. TOP OF THE STREET (1) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 8 lengths away in fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will be putting in the big strides late. TIS CHARMING (9) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt). Has ability and is worth including.
