CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 3. 5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LEYAS CANDY (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when fifth over 1m at this track two weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. MIGHTY KAI (3) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the frame in six starts over this course and distance. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. SO I'M TOLD (5) raced below his best last time when eighth over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 29 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
