ALIAS (4) remains a maiden after seven starts. Finished fifth last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. INONIT (8) returned from a lay-off two months ago when he was beaten 29 lengths into seventh over 1m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. SPORTS HERO (3) is a eight-start maiden who missed the placings when resuming but has since consolidated with two straight placings, the latest over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Sure to be in the mix again. ARMY PROUD (6) fought on for second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1. 75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
