BUFF GARY (1) was well fancied last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 3 lengths. Strong winning chance. SILVER PUNCH (4) was below his best last time when ninth over 1811m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 12 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. ELUSIVE REWARD (10) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances while fresh. ONISHENKO (6) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
