GRAN ANDREWS (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 29 over 7f when he scored by 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can salute once again. SOUTHERN DISTRICT (3) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1m1f at Laurel (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Improvement in store so he is among the leading chances. ADVANCE CASH (1) was an impressive winner last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. Must be included. BACKATYA (2) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 6f at Thistledown 12 weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the better hopes.
