QUIET AMIGO (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 3 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. SPIRIT OF AKRON (4) improved last start to finish third over 1207m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. BISCUITS AND GRITS (6) showed little early speed last start then picked up impressively in the straight to finish third at this track (Dirt) over today's journey. Tough to stop again. MCGRAW (5) improved second-up last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so he can figure again.
