VIDA (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Colonial Downs, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to prove hard to beat. TIZ THE GREAT (2) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1408m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLYING TO WORK (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Tough to stop again. EL PAPACITO (4) is a 10-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Sure to be right in this.
