BIG HOOF DYNAMITE may well improve for being recently gelded and that could swing things his way in a tight contest. He finished ahead of Itsthattime when runner-up over track and trip on his latest outing while Zorich also went close in similar company earlier in the year though has failed to build on that effort subsequently. Mongolian Hero has the form to figure on his first start for a new trainer though a high draw doesn’t help his cause while maiden winner Tejon represents a yard in fine form.
