AUREATE (4) took advantage of the good draw last start and was in the firing line for much of the way before being swamped in the run home, finishing ninth and beaten 5 lengths over 6f at this track. Likely improver. DREAMNT ENOUGH (7) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second at this track. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. HACHIMAN (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 6f at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1.3 lengths when he worked home well. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THE BONT (6) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 5f at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
