KUKUK (3) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 4 lengths away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to take this out. HOT ICE (5) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Rey Juarez-Mendoza stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. HALLEY'S COMET (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. DIVINENESS (1) was narrowly defeated last start when second over 1308m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Likely to run well again.

The race before that 2nd in a small field at Presque Isle Downs on September 30 over 1207m, 3 len behind Alabama Sleeper with 55kg at $12.10. Solid prospects with a similar effort to last time.

The race before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Thistledown on September 22 over 1207m, 7 len behind Fanti carrying 54kg at $4.50. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.
