BARELY FUNTIONAL (1) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has the class to return to the winner's list. RECKLESS SPIRIT (6) returned from a lay-off seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 1m2f at this track. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. OLD PAL (4) is back from a lay-off of 11 months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1m1f contest at this track by 0.8 lengths. Is yet to miss the placings in four starts, including two wins. Hard to knock. LINCOLN HAWK (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1m2f at this track (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Best figures measure up nicely. In the mix.
