PURSE THIEF (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over 1207m after being prominent from the outset. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIG COUNTRY BOY (8) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) after showing good early speed. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. KING JULES (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Elio J Barrera sticks and he is one of the main chances. THAT'S APRIORITY (9) resumes in a similar race to his last run nine months ago when second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Can make his presence felt.
