HICKO (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Expected to cross from wide out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STILL A SOLDIER (4) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 1609m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Likely improver second up today, looks likely to feature again. MERASOL SUGAR (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DANEYKO (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths at long odds. The introduction of Lasix brings him right under notice.
