DANCE MAN (1) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. THE BIG CHEESEOLA (6) is a three-start maiden who was close to a win before a ten months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track (Dirt). Jockey Antonio Fresu back aboard. Bold showing expected. ANTONSEN (2) was strongly fancied when second last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Kept fresh since the last run. One of the main contenders. TROTSKY (4) was never in contention when 14 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at this track the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent.
