RED DIRT RICH (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 5½f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can make his presence felt. NORWAY BEACH (4) finished fifth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track. Sure to prove tough to beat. QUALITY BLASTOFF (7) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LA BATALLA (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
