RICK'SWARMHEART (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Expected to cross from wide out. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. DARK LUTE (5) was a placegetter on dirt over 1609m at Laurel two back but missed the frame on turf over 1710m at Laurel last time. Worth following up back on dirt. IRON TAP (1) has been freshened up since he finished seventh over 1308m at this track (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago. Forgive the last run; in the mix. THEDINGOATEYOBABY (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
