O G MR BRIGHTSIDE (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths over today's trip at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with a win and one minor placing. Rates highly and should go well. DRILL CITY (5) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track. Worth noting Jose A Bracho goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ATLAS FALLS (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SEEKING FREEDOM (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at this track. Another forward showing is anticipated. Something for the Multiples: O G MR. BRIGHTSIDE (6)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 47-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1609m, 5 len behind Carson N Spence carrying 56kg at $14.60. Before that 4th in a small field at Mahoning Valley on February 12 over 1609m, 5 len behind Blazing Tony with 56kg at $5.40. Definite chance.
