Group 3 placegetter MIDNIGHT RISING (7) had his first look at a dirt track when second-up from a lay-off last start and improved sharply to score by 1.3 lengths over 1m at this track. Leading contender. Stick with him. CAN'T HUSH THIS (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 2.75 lengths last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. Group 2 placegetter ETHEREAL ROAD (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1m1f after being in contention on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALEJANDRO (5) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention.
