Remington Park Race 8 - David M. Vance S. Stakes
HEAVENVILLE (3) was an impressive winner last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 6 lengths on his rivals. Rene Diaz who has three wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. TAYLOR'S VERSION (5) started at $2.36 last time on the back of a win at Ellis Park (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing seventh over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOLA JOEY (7) impressed last time with a 5 length win at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over this journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER (6) has switched yards since finishing fourth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1408m at Saratoga. Worth plenty of thought.

Second run back. First-up after two months held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on September 3 over 1308m, 10 len behind Heavenville with 54.5kg at $3.50. Previously second-up ran second last of 7 at Oaklawn Park on March 14 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Ripped with 54.5kg at $9.80. Should progress from that first-up run.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 44-day let-up. Last start 4th of 7 at Saratoga on August 14 over 1408m, 7 len behind Contrary Thinking with 57kg at $4.97. The race before that scored a big 4 len win at Saratoga on July 17 over 1408m defeating Two Eagles River carrying 55kg at $2.98. Can do a lot better than that last run.
