EAGLE NEST (1) was in contention on the bend and finished 5.5 lengths away from the winner in third last start at this track (Dirt) over 1m Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts her right in this. PROSECUTOR (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ORVILLE B (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 6f at this track (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FLAG RAISER (2) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing seventh at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Erik Barbaran who has two wins when partnering stays on. Deserves respect.
