MAGIC MOVER (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 0.1 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AFRAIDOFTHEBUNNY (6) resumed over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out and finished second, beaten 0.1 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Among the winning hopes. FRENCH ONION (7) is a last-start winner over 1106m at this track (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths. L Negron who has three wins when partnering stays on. One of the main contenders. COOL COUPLE (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Last start favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track April 20 over 1106m defeating Dance Code with 54.5kg at $1.50. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Mahoning Valley on March 23 over 1207m, 9 len behind Stomping Moon with 57kg at $3.10. No reason he cannot salute again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
