JOHN'S PROTEGE (3) missed the frame when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Well-placed to turn things around. RIBBONS AND MEDALS (9) went forward over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Among the leading chances. TUCKABUCKAWAY (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PLAY BALL (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
