FAVORITE HAUNT (2) is still a maiden after three runs. Was in the market last time out but after being prominent at the turn didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SUMMER IN AIKEN (5) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1m at this track (Synthetic) when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MIDNIGHT AWARD (12) is a three-start maiden who finished tenth, beaten 15 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. DOUBLE GOLD (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fifth. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves another chance.
