DUST EM (7) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1308m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Boasts seven wins here. Nice class drop this time. Leading contender. VICTORY FOR VETS (4) lifted strongly to score by 4 lengths three runs back in stakes class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Jose L Alvarez who has six wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Worth noting Erik Asmussen goes aboard. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. TOM SAWYER (10) drifted back from his wide draw last time then hit the line hard to finish second at Listed level at LONE STAR PARK Turf (Turf) over 1006m. Well placed in this easier race. Must be respected.
