FLATTERING HEART (6) made it four minor placings in a row last start when second over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Likely improver with strong prospects. STAKEMAKER (2) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the final stages. Will be tough to hold out again. LA VILLAGE LUMIERE (5) failed to figure again last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. QUICKSTYLE (1) is a 15-start maiden who has been in the money six times. Could only manage fourth at the latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on six occasions. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted.
