SKY CLOUD (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ECHO CANYON (7) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when eighth over 6½f at this track (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Untried at this journey but strips fitter and is expected to do much better. PICAHOUSE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. HARBOR THUNDER (1) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2.25 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Worth including.
