ROMANIAN PRINCE (3) is back after a break of nine weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. COUNTRY STYLE (7) is a maiden with five minor placings to her name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in fifth over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Placed at her only other second up appearance. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts her right in this. EL SORDO (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. STORMED OUT (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in the frame.
