DARK MARCUS (3) turned in a good effort to finish in the placings two starts back then missed the frame last time when fourth in Listed grade at Turf Paradise (Turf) over 1m3f. Best figures stack up and looks well placed to get off the mark. SUNDAY SUN (5) finished third, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has the talent to find winning ways. TOPPERS WAGER (6) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. SPOT D' ORO (4) was beaten 13 lengths into sixth over 5½f at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
