FAST CHAZ (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 26 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the main contenders. KEEP IT COMING (4) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being in contention on the turn at his latest appearance over 7½f at this track (Turf). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. PATRIOT HILLS (9) is a three-year-old gelding who is still a maiden after nine starts but has been in the placings three times. Failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last start, beaten 16 lengths into fourth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Blinkers come off second up. Fitter and sure to be competitive. KLINKERBRICK (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
