POWERFUL PHIL (3) ran well below his best last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths into seventh at 4/1. Commendable record at this trip with a win and eight minor placings and shapes as a key contender. MATTHEW'S PATRIOT (4) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning ways. WEEKEND BUZZ (6) finished fourth last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Well placed and expected to feature. PLAY BALL (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
