SIPPIN SCOTCH (6) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 7f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a major role. FLY RED BIRD FLY (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 6f at this track after being prominent at the corner. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. TEXANO HERO (4) finished 20 lengths adrift in seventh when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Generally runs well second up. Settles back early but winds up late. Winning claims on best figures. DUSTINS DENILE (14) stepped out for his debut over 5f at Lone Star Park (Dirt) back on June 22 2023 and finished fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.
