RUSTYS GFIVEFIFTY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. SUGAR'S LAST HOPE (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Ricardo Chiappe who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. PRACTICAL SENSE (8) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in sixth over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt). Among the chances. DON'T POKE THE CAT (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
