VILLA SEVENTYNINE (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. THE STIFMEISTER (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KESSLER (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $5. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FAITHFUL CHAMPION (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
