VAN VOLLENHOVEN (6) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Senior rider aboard this time. Terrific chance to break through. LEO'S REWARD (3) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. D C BOY'S (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. VITALIZE (2) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 6½f at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
