REIGNING DREAM (5) is coming off a last-start third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1m1/4f at this track. Significant rider change. Sure to prove tough to stop. IRONCLAD ALIBI (4) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the right credentials. C V SHACKLES (2) missed the placings last time out over 1m2f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Prior to that had won two races on end. Can return to his best. PRESSLEY RIDGE (7) is fresh from a lay-off of seven months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Thistledown (Dirt) over 6f. In a different yard now.
