DYLAN'S CHAMP (1) is overdue after three straight minor placings, the latest when narrowly defeated over 1m at Vaal. Likely improver with strong prospects. GERBERA (9) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 5¾f at this track a month ago. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. GREGARIOUS (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 5f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. AMANATTO (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5¾f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
