JACK'S ADVANTAGE (7) started at 2/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Likely improver with strong prospects. HE'S A SHOOTER (3) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Won at his only start at this longer journey. One of the better chances. BOBBY'S GIFT (10) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 18 lengths into sixth over 6f at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. EXALTED JOY (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
