BASKETBALL JONES (2) filled yet another minor placing last time when 6 lengths adrift in second over 7f at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. BILL NEEDLE (4) is overdue for a win with three placings from three runs this campaign, the latest effort a third over 6½f at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. MOMENT OF ZEN (5) finished 4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6½f at this track after being prominent at the corner two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Right in this. BET N WIN (3) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 6½f at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
