RIDE THE BUCK (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. MORTIFY (5) 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). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. JUDGE MCBEE (6) fought on well for third last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Yet to miss the top three here in four starts. Strong claims on his best form. BIG BRAVE OKIE (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role.
