SHALLUS (3) has been racing in great heart with five top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. TOUCHDOWN ROCKET (5) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 7f, beaten 6 lengths. Progressive type who can play a role. WICKED MELODY (2) is a 11-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 7f at Ellis Park (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. RIDDLE SOLVER (7) debuted a month ago when he finished fifth over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.
