EASY PICK (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1308m at Colonial Downs, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. ASSOCIATED (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. QUAKER CITY (8) was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1673m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SAM'S GLORY (6) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1308m at this track six months ago. Generally performs well here and has registered four minor placings. Too good to ignore.
