THE DEVIL'S DREAM (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should be prominent from the outset. Has the class to take care of this field. SHEZ SHACKED UP (7) saluted at Thistledown two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing third over 6f at Thistledown, beaten 1. 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SALTMAKESHER Set Weights EET (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at Thistledown after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. WHISKEY DIAMOND (6) ran below expectations last time at Thistledown (Dirt) over 6f, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
