Stake: -

ANOTHER MYSTERY (4) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start around here but up against a higher level of opposition. Has good finishing speed. Rates a winning chance. SPONGE BATH (1) On a short back up. Weakened under pressure when 6th last run at the track. Giving another go here and drops back to a suitable grade. Expecting to settle positively. No shock to see a win. MAN ON ATTACK (3) Was competitive when 2nd last time here but facing a stronger grade. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Keep in mind. PROTONIC POWER (5) Got going late when 4th last start at this track but challenged by a tougher grade. Jockey Julio E Felix and trainer Armando Hernandez are an appealing combination. Not hopeless.

On a quick turnaround. Started $4.33 and faded away to finish 6th last run at this track. Giving another go here and stepping down to a lower level. Expected to be competitive.

Kept chasing when 3rd beaten by 1L last start at the track and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Should get going late. Competing in a higher grade. Will need its best to find a place.

Finished strongly when 2nd last start at this venue but stepping up to a higher level. Displays good closing speed. In top form since resuming from a spell. Great chance.

Jumped at $6.50 and picked up some ground to run 4th last start at this track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Looks hopeful at best.
