DRIED PEPPER (1) was well in commission last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Strong winning chance. FEROCITY (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.75 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THRILL RIDE (3) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran seventh over 7½f at this track (Dirt) on November 24. Good record at this journey with three wins and a placing from five starts and has to be respected. ANDIAMO GIACOMO (8) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
