HIDDEN RANSOM (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Thistledown (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Will appreciate the longer journey now. DOUBLE AGENT (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Belterra Park (Dirt), finishing fourth and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. GATHA'S SONG (6) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) three weeks ago. Key runner. GRAY TORMENTOR (4) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth in a 6f contest at Thistledown five weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
