ROARK (6) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FUNKLE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CASTLE OF CORK (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YAREAKH (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
