STARLITE WALKER (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KAZ PALACE (1) could only manage sixth when returning from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths. Has a very good record here including three wins from six starts. Bold showing expected. UP AGAINST IT (3) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LIVING WATER (4) started at 3/1 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at this track over 6f. Should park just off the speed. Must be respected.
