BATTLE TESTED (3) Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 4L last start at the track and have to respect the form at the distance. Displays good tactical speed. Winnable race. TORREY STREET (6) Tailed off to finish 4th last start around here. Likely to bounce back. Should muster plenty of early toe. No shock to see a win. SACRED CONNECTION (1) Well beaten when 6th last run at the track but stepping back up in trip. In good racing form since coming back from a spell and gets a favourable draw. Respect against this field. KANTBACKOFF (5) Faded to finish 7th last run here but going over extra ground. Watch market moves closely.

Comments

Didn't show much at all last start when 8.25L 6th at Mahoning Valley. 8.25L from the winner in Allowance grade race at this circuit last start. Suited in this distance range. Too bad to be true last start and look for an improved showing here.

Outside leader but just couldn't reel Wicca Wisdom in when 4L away at Mahoning Valley last start. 4L from the winner in level race at this circuit last time out. Ran at this trip last start when 4L from the winner. Loves this track. Hard to beat.
