MINING CAMP (3) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and seven placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. TALLAPOOSA (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 2.25 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. ALIBI IKE (1) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. EASY FAST (8) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 11 months. At his last appearance he finished eighth over 5½f at this track (Turf), beaten 16 lengths. One of the main chances with the blinkers coming off.
