JOE DON LOONEY (5) Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at this track. Made it 2 wins on the trot. One of the major hopes. ULTIMATE (7) Picked up late ground when 2nd last start at this venue. Manuel Americano and Jose Silva Jr make a formidable team. Hard to dismiss. EXXEL (2) Picked up some ground to run 5th last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. One of the main dangers. BUCK OWENS (1) Hit the line well when 4th last run here and has minimal work to do from the alley. Good to see Daniel P Vergara is jumping on. Not out of this.
