ALIAS (6) was well fancied last time out but after being in the firing line on the corner disappointed in finishing fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. SEEKER'S HOPE (2) is a 12-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 6½f after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. POPPY'S TICKET (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race and is worth consideration. DON LUIS (4) is fresh from a lay-off of eight months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. In a different yard now.
