WISHFUL THOUGHTS (4) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 905m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. MONKEY WRENCH (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7.80. Finds a nice race and can make amends. TUP'S TO TAKE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. SHUFFLE (6) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a 905m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to bounce back.
