GAPPER (2) ran on strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. HIDDEN RANSOM (5) is back at the races for the first time since December 3. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Has found a suitable race. MUCHO PRIMO (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth in a 1207m contest at this track three weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. VENTURE ON (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 10, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Worth plenty of thought.
