MUD BUG (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row.Has a high cruising speed.Likely improver with strong prospects.CABAR SUL (6) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Anthony Farrior barn.Finished off last campaign with a win at Penn National (Turf) four-and-a-half months ago.Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed.Bold showing expected.HE'S ON FIRE (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m1/2f at this track after being in contention on the corner.Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.DAD'S LIL SPARK (2) was beaten 14 lengths into sixth over 6½f at this track at his latest appearance.No surprise to see him in contention.
