WITHSTANDTHESTORM (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 4f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Placed to advantage and can make his presence felt. FREEDOM FLASH (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. NOBLE CONNECTION (2) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at this track (Dirt) over 6½f just seven days ago. Has a low draw and is among the leading chances. SAMURAI'S GRANDSON (10) finished 4 lengths back in sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance just eight days ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
