PEARSE (1) finished second last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), making it two career minor placings. Has recorded two minor placings from five tries at this distance. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. SOUTH SIDE (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 15 lengths into sixth. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. ROCKALL (8) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage seventh last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from four starts. Right in the mix. FOE (2) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), finishing 25 lengths back in seventh. Finds a nice race and can atone.
