PROTECTED (4) displayed plenty of early toe over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. FOREVER CHOCOLATE (2) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over this journey at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Among the leading chances. LAST ROMANCE (3) was beaten just 0.3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1m at this track (Dirt). Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from three starts. Should be involved in the finish. GROUCH (5) showed the way from stall rise to score by 0.3 lengths last start over this course and distance. Fernando Jara stays aboard. Must be respected.
