DEFENDING CHAMP (5) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1f80yards at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FYRESTORM (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0.9 lengths when fourth in a 1f130yards contest at this track three weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. PARTY TIME TOM (2) finished fifth over 1f180yards at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MALYNCHE (1) finished third last start over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.6 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
