QUIET AMIGO (5) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when sixth, beaten 12 lengths, over this journey in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. FIRST SONG (3) was safely held last time when 11th over 1m1/4f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) albeit against tougher opposition. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. Group 2 placegetter DARK VADER (4) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. COUNTRY CLUB BOBBY (1) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
