PONDA EXECUTIVE (3) was expected to do a lot more at the first run back from a break last start when ninth, beaten 14 metres, over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. TOPVILLE RUSTLER (2) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Added to the list last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, getting home by 11 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. EPIC ACE (5) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished ninth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway last time out. BACKSTREET GAMBLER (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his first run back over 1609m at this track.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 7 m by Nvrpoptdaplugs (1:52.10) in SA15000CL on February 15 at $11.40. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Burnham Boy at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a SA20000CL on February 8 at $31.10. Likely to find this a bit tough.
