DONT ROCK THE BOAT (2) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Fitter and capable of taking this out. FLAT CAP (5) is yet to break through in 15 runs. Finished tenth at his last appearance over 7f at this track (Dirt) on January 10 after he was well back on straightening. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. HEAD LAD (8) could only manage seventh when resuming at this track two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SMOOTH AN EASY (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1m1/2f at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
