BOURBON OVER ICE (1) stepped up in trip to 1m last time at Thistledown (Dirt) and ran below his best, finishing 9 lengths away in fifth. Coming back in trip suits so worth another chance. ROYAL AIR FORCE (5) had been in top form scoring two wins on end prior to missing the frame last time out at this track (Turf). Coming back in journey. This is his optimum trip with four wins from five starts and is sure to go well. THIRSTY JOHN (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 6f at this track (Dirt) six weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can go on to make it two in a row. OBIWAN (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
