AMERICAN RUSS (3) finished fourth over 5½f at Hamilton when resuming last start, beaten only 0. 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Nicely placed to find winning form. TORI'S DEE (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1. 5 lengths back in fourth over 5½f at Moe. Well placed and expected to feature. GOPHER FRANK (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2. 5 lengths when fourth over 6f at Bordertown eight days ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FACTUALLY (7) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 2. 25 lengths, last start over 5f at Donald. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
