Prize Money: $31,384

IM SKINNYDIPIN N (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Has the class to take this out. HUMBLE A (1) scored at Miami Valley Raceway two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 4 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to find the winners' list. BUZZSAW RUSS (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. NOBLESVILLE (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m when fresh from a spell.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind I Did It Myway at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a OPEN on February 1 at $18.40. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Joelsyy Hanover at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a OPEN HC on February 8 at $3.50. Can build on that fine effort last start.
