CARBON STRYKER (9) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 5 lengths away in fourth at Delta Downs (Dirt). Capable of overwhelming this field late in proceedings. JAKE THE BAND MAN (1) finished third when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track. Big run expected. BLING BLING BLING (3) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 23 lengths from the winner in seventh. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. SATURDAY'S GOLD (8) last appeared four weeks ago over 5f at Fairgrounds when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Ronnie Iii Cravens stable.
