MAJOR SWING (8) Backing up quickly. Average at best when 6th last start here but has a positive box. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. SUNSET BOY (2) Unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at the track. Displays good finishing speed. Sure to be thereabouts. FEDERAL ARLO (7) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at the track. Racing consistently this campaign. Must be considered. AVERAGE RETURN (3) Ran 4th last start at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Will be positive in the run early. Well placed and has solid claims.

At $8.00 ordinary performance when 6th last time at this track. Always seems to find the line well. Expect to see close up at the end.

Odds of $5.50 and came in 4th last start at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should race on the speed. Good prospects.

Disappointing effort when 8th last run at this venue and coming back in trip. Has a great burst of speed late. Win will not surprise.

Racing on a quick back up. Jumped at $5.50 and subpar when 6th last start at this venue but can find a nice position from the draw. Should go very close.
