POPPY T (1) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a lay-off last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. NATIVE REQUITE (4) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good second over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time. Solid prospects. ALPHIN (7) is a six-year-old gelding who is still a maiden after 10 starts but has been in the placings three times. Failed to threaten when 19 lengths from the winner in sixth when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). One of the main contenders. A TRUE TARGET (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
