IMPERIAL RED BIRD (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 10 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MISTER MONTE CARLO (7) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. SON OF A BLING (1) ran third at his latest appearance over 6f at this track, clocking in 3.5 lengths from the winner. Generally goes well here with a win and two minor placings from three tries. Capable of playing a big role. SUMMER HELP (3) finished in the money at each run this campaign before a deserved win last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Confidence back now. Can sneak into the finish.
