HOLY IMAGE (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EXTRA INDY (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 37 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. PEARL BUTTON (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. THUNDER KIN (1) was unplaced on turf over 7½f at this track in a then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing sixth over 1m at this track. Better than recent form suggests and worth including back on dirt.
