SUDDEN SHIFT (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1m at this track, beaten 24 lengths into eighth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to score. VENETIAN DREAM (1) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as favourite over 1m at this track (Dirt). R A Perez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SHELL FIRE (4) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance when resuming from a lay-off last start. No reason he cannot salute again. FRANCO (8) disappointed as favourite last time when fourth over 1m at this track. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
