EXALTED JOY (3) found the line in great style to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt) at the second run this prep. Big chance make it two on end. VENETIAN DREAM (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 11 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Rocco Bowen goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ROGER MCQUEEN (5) is racing in great heart and has three wins on end, most recently scoring by half a length over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. VAIL OF HONOR (6) settled well back and never threatened when sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
