WEIRD YEAR (4) was prominent from the outset when third over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. SUITABLE (10) ran well below his best last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into fourth at 9/4. Well placed and can bounce back. SAM SEZ (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. Better than recent efforts suggest.
