WEEKEND RETREAT (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m1/4f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PLUM TUFF (7) started at 17/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 16 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/4f. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RIVER BYE (8) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Kim Puhl. By Rivers Run Deep from Storm On Bye. Bold showing expected. BUCKEYE MIKE (5) finished 7 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
