EXCELLENT TIMING (1) settled well back last time out before finishing fourth over 905m at this track (Dirt). Arnaldo Bocachica stays aboard. Leading contender. TRICKS R FOR JUBA (4) is a talented gelding who has been in the money at all four starts. Last appeared when he was successful over 1308m at this track on October 11. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. FACE ABARRIO (3) is backing up quickly after a definitive victory at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) only 4 days ago, leading throughout for a 1.75 lengths success. Top chance. GO GO PRANCER (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. Something for the Multiples: COLD AS HELL (6)

Recent form sound. At the latest run got back early 4th in a small field at this track on April 10 over 905m, 8 len behind Hey Boots carrying 57kg at $5.30. The race before that won by 0.5 len at this track March 20 over 905m defeating Pure Panic carrying 55.5kg at $2.20. Capable of more – worth another chance.
