TIME TO CRUISE (4) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a nose over 1m at Parx (Dirt). In fine form and worth following up. CLASSIC UNION (3) was a dominant winner last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), getting home by 8 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. DR STEVE (1) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Yet to miss the placings here at this trip, including two wins. Should be competitive. COLONEL MOORHEAD (5) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Must be respected.
