HEAVEN'S CHAMPION (4) Was well beaten when 8th last start here. Likely to bounce back but facing stiffer opposition. Can get the job done. LIEUTENANT STAN (7) Got going late when 4th last run at Presque Isle Downs but up against stronger opponents. Has a nice turn of foot. Can measure up to this company. ARMSTRONG (5) First up after a 49 week break. Ran 4th last run at this track. Overlooking the last run. Respect in this event. CRUCIAL TAUNT (1) Lost ground in the run home when 5th last time at this track but drawn the rails. Can go through the gears. Racing against tougher rivals. Not out of this.

Started at $6.50 and faded away to finish 4th last run at the track but gets a favourable draw. Competing at a higher class. Prefer in something a lot easier.

First up and was amongst the placegetters when 3rd first up last preparation here. Dropping in distance. Competing in a more challenging class. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.
