RIDE THE BRAND (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths starting at 9/4. Likely improver with strong prospects. RAISE A RUCKUS (2) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4½f at this track after being prominent at the bend three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. L C Reynolds stays on. Sure to play a big role. SEA OF TRANQUILITY (5) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is one of the main chances. LOVE IS WICKED (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 14 lengths into sixth. No surprise to see him in contention.
