VAL CARUSO (4) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. In form and should go well again. TERRA FINA (5) launched her career with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the corner before winding up in third over 1f130yards at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. MISS APOLLIDASH (1) scored by half a length in a at this track (Dirt) then missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (Dirt). Drops a little in the weights. Expected to be competitive. MISTER TWOSDAY (3) registered his first win last start over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt), getting home by a nose. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Cesar Franco was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
