TUCSON (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. JUNCTION ROAD (8) is racing well. Scored at this track (Synthetic) in a then finished second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. DEAR DAD (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 3 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be involved in the finish. LEFTEMBEHIND (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) when he made late ground, beaten 4 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Capable of another bold effort.
