MY LAST MISSION (5) is a five-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Jamie Ness barn. Hasn't raced since finishing seventh at Laurel (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but looks well placed. Should prove tough to beat. ROMANTIC GAMBLE (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 23 lengths, over 1m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Should be peaking now and is sure to be about the mark. PERSISTENT DANGER (2) was far from disgraced when third last start after being in contention on the bend over 6f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LIVING WATER (6) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 2.25 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects.
