HOT WINGS (2) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 2 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1006m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. The one to beat in this line up. LEGAL TITAN (7) is overdue for a win with three placings from four starts this preparation, the latest effort a second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Key runner who should feature in the finish. VALENTINE BUG (3) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic), beaten 2.75 lengths. The engagement of C Oliveros is a positive move. Has the class to take care of this field. TRAP LINE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
