POCKET DRIVER N – Five-claimer was used to get the lead, set a fast pace under pressure and held okay

7/10: 10w, + speed

LUCKY LAND – Went first over against a tough odds-on front runner into a quick last half, held okay

JK CAMELOT – Drew post 7 off the key drop, left, tucked, uncorked a potent third quarter first over brush and drew off impressively

MOSEE TERROR – Lacks early speed and is now 0 for 21 on the year but racing in good form, left, declined a tuck on the first turn, was parked the mile without cover and held well considering

MR JIM DANDY – Trotter had post 8, followed cover and finished fast to just miss

*** = extra-sharp preferred plays
