Group 2 placegetter COWAN (9) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 15 lengths over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. JOKING WAY (1) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 6½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EMERALD FOREST (6) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds the right race this time and can bounce back. VICTORIOUS WAVE (11) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it four wins from seven starts this campaign. Record at this journey is strong with three wins from eight runs and deserves respect.
