UP IN FLAMES (5) was 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 5f at this track (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Backmarker who gets home hard. Well placed and worth another chance. BLESSED CANDY (2) is on debut for the Antonio Machado stable. Two-year-old filly by Maximum Security from Princess Pao. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. FEAR NOTHING (4) turned in a moderate debut over 4½f at this track (Dirt) on June 8 when he was safely held in fourth, 8 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. Top-three chance. SUNFLOWER STATE (6) debuted five weeks ago when she finished fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 13 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive.
