ARCTIC BEAST (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1609m in stakes class at Remington Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 6 lengths. Drops back in grade. Sure to run well. COMBAT MISSION (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider K Carmouche stays aboard and he cannot be discounted. ROYAL RIDDLE (5) recorded his first win last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder here but should be involved in the finish. MISSION CRITICAL (1) got off the mark over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
