BLAME IT ON EDDIE (2) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when seventh, beaten 18 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GILLIGAN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. BOSS BEAR (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. EXALTED JOY (4) turned things around last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to find a top-three spot.
