KICKIN' CHARLIE (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 15 lengths when eighth in a 6f contest at Arapahoe Park five-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. OUR BOY ROY (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Cherry-ripe now and can find peak form this time. DERBY BOY (8) started at 15/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MUAY THAI (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Pleasanton (Dirt) over 5½f after he gave away a big start. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
