GROUND CONTROL (8) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. WAR TOURIST (1) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m at this track. Genuine type with four wins from 10 starts. Expecting a bold showing. SAVED BY GRACE (13) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Free Like A Girl over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 15 lengths into sixth. Well placed and looks a key runner. BACK STREET BABY (4) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out.
