CHARLIE LIGHTNING (1) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with bright prospects. MAD DRAGON (2) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. IRONMAN RICHIE (7) last appeared when he finished sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt) on July 19. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SOVIET STANDARD (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Nicely placed to turn things around.
