RIDE THE BRAND (6) started favourite last time at this track (Dirt) and was beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 4½f when he was always up in the leading division. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Winning chance. MALEKES MAGIC (2) was safely held when sixth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WHY WINCHILL WHY (8) got well back over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 11 lengths away in fifth. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. EXCLUSIVE ORIGINAL (7) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when he finished ninth over 7f at this track. Deserves serious consideration.
