TEXAS CREED (6) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was always up in the leading division over 5f at this track (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STORM MAN (1) finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 5f at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Solid top-three chance. PAINTED LAD (7) finished 12 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. KARANTHOS (5) is having his first run since winning by a nose two weeks ago over 5½f at this track. Has transferred to the Jerry Gourneau stable over the break.
