DYRDEK (1) finished 1.3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track two weeks ago as 5/2 favourite. Steps up in journey. Sound record at this distance with two wins and 11 minor placings from 18 runs and is one of the major players. MAGIC MOUNTAIN (2) started at 9/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUCKY JUNIOR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fifth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. VALEROSO (7) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around.
