HERO'S MAN (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth, beaten 35 lengths, over 7f at this track (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Will strip fitter and is expected to feature in the finish. ALLEN CAN DO IT (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just five times from 50 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 6½f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can salute. MISSIONSNINETYNINE (6) started at 4/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 22 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Has the class to figure prominently. LEG UP (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Big chance to break through.
