BARFLY (1) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FIRST PLACE G (6) is a six-start maiden who missed the placings when resuming but has since consolidated with two straight placings, the latest over 6f at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice assignment. ALCAZABA (4) is a 15-start maiden finding who is knocking on the door, the last run a commendable second at this track (Dirt) over 7f after being prominent at the corner. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. HEZMORETHANREADY (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 18 lengths away in seventh over 7f at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
