PUFF'SMAGICDRAGON (8) was an emphatic winner last time over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) with this rider Erik Barbaran engaged. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. Set Weights EEPING GIANT (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m at Thistledown. Has the talent to take this out. SHIVAREE (1) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0. 3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 15 starts. Solid top-three chance. DR SCHUSTER (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) with success over 1m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession.
