MITICO (4) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f here last time. Sure to give a sight. NAUVOO (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Deserves another chance. MASTERMIND (3) could only manage fourth on dirt over 6½f at this track in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m at this track more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. Worth another chance. ATOMIC DROP (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into ninth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
