YES TO LOVE (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. SPARKLEINYOUREYE (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 20 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 6½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ROMAN CANDLE (4) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with A Bocachica who was on board last start. This is tougher but she cannot be underestimated. PHILMARY CASTLE (2) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at this track (Dirt) over 6½f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
