THEO'S THUNDER (9) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1710m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MONGOLIAN CHAMP (12) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PAXTON (5) finished 11 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1408m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Backmarker who gets home hard. Winning claims on best figures. GAP TO GAP (11) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.3 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
