Set Weights EET LEMON DROP (8) has been kept fresh since finishing fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Winning rider Alejandro Gomez stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. RUMBLE STRIP RON (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 3. 5 lengths into third over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (5) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PAINT THE TOWN (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3. 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
