BOLD ROCK (2) was well fancied last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Has a good association with F Peltroche with a run of three top-three results. Should be hard to stop. CONNECT THE DOTS (6) is a two-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Connect from Happy Numbers. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Should be thereabouts despite a tricky draw. T REX UNION (4) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at 3/1. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BLESSINGS BESTOWED (5) pushed forward on debut last start and boxed on to finish third over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Do not underestimate.
