A VAN ON THE RUN (7) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to find the placings at Thistledown (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time. Can break through in this suitable contest. OBI KENOBI (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 6f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. TAP THE WIND (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 6 lengths into third over 6f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. MOR CRAFTY (2) resumes from a lay-off of four months after closing off last campaign with six consecutive minor placings. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Best figures stack up nicely.
