VIETNAM VICTORY (3) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 8 lengths into third over 1308m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last time eight weeks ago. Likely to figure prominently. TEAM GORMLEY (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Boasts four wins here. Can measure up again. HEZAKOOLKAT (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 11 lengths when fifth over 1106m at this track two weeks ago. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ESSAY (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
