LONESOME STEW (4) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 6f at this track. Loads of ability and can return to winning form. FINAL STORM (2) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on August 2 and finished sixth behind Curlin's Kaos over 7f at Listed level at Del Mar (Dirt). Well placed in this company. AFTERNOON NAP (5) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by half a length over 6f at this track (Turf). Going well and looks a strong each way hope. DUTY FIRST (7) was easily accounted for when sixth last start over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after a good when resuming win at this track. One of the main hopes.
