REMYS GUNSMOKE (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1006m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. DON'T CROSS JACK (2) is fresh from a spell of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1106m. In a different yard now. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. JOE PHILLIPS (8) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fifth over 1006m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after working home well. Likely improver with strong prospects. CLASSIC MO (9) is first-up since August 27. Has a great record when fresh with five successes from six runs including a win over 1207m at Thistledown at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
