CLIFDEN PUNCH (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MIND OF GOLD (3) finished fifth last time out over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has solid form at this course with six wins and 12 minor placings from 35 starts. Likely to be in the finish. BON FIRE DIVA (4) finds it hard to win with three victories from 31 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 5½f at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. CALL ME CARMELITA (6) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), finishing 21 lengths back in ninth. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
