NEPHELE (2) rolled forward last time out and boxed on to finish 0.1 lengths from the winner in second at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with seven placings from nine starts. Should prove tough to beat. ROMAN BRONZE (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. SMILING RAPPER (1) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. LUCKY SERMON (5) returned from a lay-off six weeks ago when she was beaten 21 lengths into seventh over 5½f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
