THEO'S THUNDER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BOBBY'S GIFT (2) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1673m at this track last start. Has a win and four minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Best form puts him right in this. RAISON KARTER (6) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1609m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. LAST CHANCE LUIS (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m after being prominent until the final stages. Likely improver who should be about the money.
