ALABAMA SLEEPER (3) is a five-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed to open his account. SO GRAND (7) finished sixth last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. FRENCHMAN JAMES (5) is going well with four minor placings from four starts this campaign. Was always up in the leading division and finished 0.1 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STILLBILLY (2) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1207m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Likely improver with winning claims.
