WE NEED A FAVOR (2) met with solid support last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Can bounce back. REINVEST (7) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will be running on late again.

Second-up today. Last outing favourite; won by 7 len at Charles Town July 3 over 1710m defeating Neverpopthecork with 55.5kg at $1.70. At only start last preparation favourite; came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Laurel April 25 over 1710m defeating Party With Smarty with 57kg at $2.90. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.
