Group 2 placegetter ROGUE FROM THE SOUTH (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 23 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1f80yards at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can find the winner's circle. MOONLIGHT SPECIAL (7) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.1 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. ERICKS FIRST WAGON (4) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1f130yards at Evangeline Downs, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LIL TOO DIRTY (2) has been freshened up since he finished ninth over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Among the chances.
