PAINT THE TOWN (7) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Big chance to break through. ELLIOT THE DRAGON (5) returns after a lay-off of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Thistledown. Should be hard to stop. KNOCK WOOD (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TEAM LEYENDECKER (2) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
