Prize Money: $54,922

UNBRIDLED VALOR (1) has been in the money three times including last start on August 6 when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here with three top-three finishes to his name. Sure to prove very tough to beat. TA TA TODAY JUNIOR (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Fernando De La Cruz. Nicely placed to take this out. MIKESTRUMPCARD (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FAVORITE STAR (3) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Further improvement to come.
