VILLIAN (7) is normally a good dirt track performer but ran below best when 11th at this track two starts ago. Bounced back last start though, scoring on turf at Belterra Park over 1m1/2f. Nice class drop this time. Major player. SHADOWY (2) resumed over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Belterra Park (Turf) last start and could only manage fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Leading chance. RONNIS SECOND WIND (3) finished fifth last start over this distance in Listed grade at Belterra Park (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of three starts. One of the contenders. THAT'S THE WAY (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Worth noting Erik Barbaran goes aboard. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
