Royal Creed and Rocky Boy Indian have both been winning at Turf Paradise this year while Cataroux notched-up a hat-trick at this meet in 2019 and will be sharper for a recent return to action. Cheers And Prayers has the past form to figure on his first outing since September but BIG GUY IAN may be good enough to overcome a wide draw judged on recent efforts at Fonner and a second over 6f here last time and Jesse Compton’s charge gets the nod.
