KARAOKE HERO (7) is a four start maiden who is close to a win despite missing the frame last time over 5f at this track (Dirt). Not beaten far latest. Looks close to breaking through and rates a leading player. G DAWG (6) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a four-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Emerald Downs (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. FREEDOM EMPIRE (2) ended up 22 lengths behind the winner in seventh on debut last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Expected to be competitive. BITTERLY (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 12 lengths when ninth in a 1m contest at Tampa Bay Downs two-and-a-half weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be prominent.
