BOTH SIDES (3) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end but missed the frame most recently when eighth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has a strong record at this journey with three wins and a placing from six starts and is right in this. KOUTOUBIA (1) won last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt) and M A Vasquez, who was aboard that day, keeps the ride. Gets some weight relief this time. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. MAJOR PRYCE (2) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track (Dirt) then failed to back it up over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) last time, beaten 19 lengths into fifth. Better suited at this shorter trip so capable of a return to form. IT'S ONLY WORDS (7) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Record at this track is strong. Worth considering.
