OZARK (6) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1m1f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to bounce back. HANG OUT THE STARS (7) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 7f at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she can win again. STATE CAPITOL (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. BEER WITH THE BOYS (8) got off the mark over 1m at this track last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Juan Paul V'd Merwe who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
