GOLD BUCKLE (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth in a 1m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. HOMERUNHAPPY (5) was far from disgraced when third last start after being in contention on the turn over 6f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Belterra Park the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. VICTOR'S DEAL (2) fought on for second last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) when he worked home in great style, making it two minor placings in a row. Finds an easier assignment and can discover winning form. GRAND IN BAY (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/4f after he was well back on straightening. Good enough on his day and can run a bold race.
