HOT LE ROY (5) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this circuit. Good record at this journey with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts and should prove tough to beat. RIFEY (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 6½f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. BEER CHASER (9) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) and proved too strong, scoring by 0.3 lengths. DUKE OF BLUE RIDGE (4) was out of the money when resuming but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a second over 7f at this track (Dirt). Must be included in calculations.
