Expecting Hustler to take up the running with Dance In The Ring and O K Smile close at hand. HUSTLER (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BEACH BOY (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. POPPING BERRY (9) finished 10 lengths behind the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Backmarker who gets home hard. One to consider. M T PEACE (10) ran a better race last start, finishing 5 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
