LOOKIN AT MAC (8) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 10 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Blinkers added so the stable might have him peaking today. MAXXUS (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 1207m at this track seven weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. LIL TRICK (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of nine weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at this track over 1207m. Strong winning chance on best figures. COAL FIRED (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 24 lengths away in ninth over 1308m at Turfway Park. No surprise to see him in contention.
