TEJAS (9) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length after being prominent at the turn. Likely to be there at the finish again. OLE CRAZY BONE (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.5 lengths when resuming last time out over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Should settle handy in the run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. MAZUMA (4) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should be handy in the run. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FIRST AVENUE (14) didn't do a bad job to finish 0.4 lengths away in third last start over 1m at this track after a win the run prior. In contention this time.
