MORTIFY (4) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 4.5 lengths into second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. QUALITY BLASTOFF (7) is back from a lay-off of five months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 5½f at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt). Runs very well here having never missed the frame from four starts. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. OUR MOON PIE (3) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 7f at this track (Dirt). Genuine performer so another big run is likely. ELUSIVE POWER (5) was safely held when fourth last start over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after a good when resuming win at this track. Expect a better run this time.
