FRAME UP (3) made steady ground over 5½f at this track (Dirt) to finish midfield last time out. Good record at this journey and is well worth another chance. J J VALENTIN (5) resumed last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 5 lengths. Among the top chances. QUARANTINO (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 19 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 5½f at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. EASTERN EXTENSION (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 6f at this track (Dirt) when beaten 10 lengths. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is among the main hopes.
