VERMEER (9) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 2½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. HEATHER'S HEATHEN (2) got the job done last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Has a very good record over this journey with three wins from five starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. GOT MY PRANCE ON (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2½f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being prominent at the turn. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. HUNGRY HEARTS (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
