VIETNAM VICTORY (6) is racing well without winning. Last start finished ninth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Top contender. FORT HOOD (3) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track (Dirt) then improved and scored over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. BERGHEIM (7) bounced back last start and got the job done by one length after being in the firing line on the bend as public elect over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. BANDERA BLING (2) settled well back and never threatened when fifth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) just a week ago. Can turn things around.
