ROYAL SPY (6) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 6½f at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. HEY BOOTS (4) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 21 lengths. Has the talent to put the recent poor run behind him. DRINKWITHTHESTARS (5) was below best form latest when a 5 length fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Should be right in this on best form. BIG HAMBONE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Laurel, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
