PROSECUTOR (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. WETZEL (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and five minor placings. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. SUSIE'S KID (4) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. SPIRIT OF AKRON (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1106m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
