THE BIG LEP (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second over 905m at this track. Cannot be put aside after one miss. EXCELLENT TIMING (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Laurel. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. NOBLE RULING (9) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on June 6 over 1308m when he got home by 1.3 lengths. Winning rider L C Reynolds retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. BREEZING UP (3) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished fifth at Laurel (Dirt) over 1207m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer David Walters.
