VAL BABY (1) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, in Group 3 class at this track (Dirt) over 320m. Deserves to break through and looks well placed to break through. CHISELED N CHROME (7) is a last-start winner over 274m at this track (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by half a length. Expected to take some stopping again. LAUGHLIN (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on April 11 over 274m when he scored by 0.3 lengths. Winning rider Martin Arriaga retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EPIC WIND (6) resumed eight weeks ago over 274m at this track and was only beaten 1.3 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
