STANDARD DEDUCTION (7) did well last time to finish second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. In the money at each of his runs over this longer journey. Finds the ideal assignment. HILL COUNTRY (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DARE DEFYING (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Colonial Downs, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. SAINT SHANCE (3) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
