MORE LOVE (5) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. FLOWERPECKER (6) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and did score first-up when last in work at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1106m. Lines up for the first time for the Brian L Schling stable. Worth serious consideration. FLORIDA GATOR (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten half a length. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. PRACTICAL MAN (4) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
