Group 2 placegetter BAROSSA (5) clung on to finish third last start over 6f at Sunland Park (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. DOM WAYNE (2) was safely held when third last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at Sunland Park at the previous outing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. A Medellin is a key engagement. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to bounce back. OPEN ROAD (3) was safely held when resuming last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Shapes as one to consider. BARBIERE (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Fitter for that run. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
