PLEASANT VALIANT (5) was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOUSED (2) was well fancied last time but could only manage third over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being well positioned to strike on the turn. Likely to be in the finish again. ARMOR PIERCING (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TIME THE AVENGER (6) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
