COLONIAL ROAD (7) settled well back last start and never threatened when 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves another chance. CASTLE OF CORK (1) is back from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 28 lengths, over 6½f at this track. Has the right credentials. CEDAR RUNS FIBER (6) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SALTY STARKEY (4) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
