ACTIVE DUTY (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GUM ISLAND (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1m1f at this track (Dirt) after he was in contention on the bend. Cherry-ripe now and looks a clear threat. UNION EXPRESS (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 14 when beaten 10 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Has the class to get back to winning ways. IRIE MAN (3) was beaten 11 lengths into sixth in a 7f contest at this track eight days ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
