WILD TOPSHELF HERO (1) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence.Last start could only manage seventh over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt).Rates highly in this line up and can improve.TEMPTING ALIBI (4) resumed two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1½f at this track and was only beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth.Fitter so expect a better run this time.MAD INDIAN (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 0.3 lengths last start over 1f31yards at Lone Star Park (Dirt).Should figure in the finish.SAN FRANCISCO (5) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1f180yards at Lone Star Park, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Lone Star Park at the previous outing.Worth another chance.
