FLAWLESS CAT (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 15 lengths away in sixth over 6f at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. EL BANDIDO (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a nose over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ARMOR PIERCING (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 27 when beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 6f after being in the firing line on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. CONSIDER ME (4) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 5½f. Should park just off the speed. One of the better hopes.
