PLAYA DEL MAR (4) travelled in a rearwards position then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to prove very tough to beat. FORT NELSON (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in third over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. EZ ROLL (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1. 75 lengths back in second over 7f at this track (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves his chance. EGYPTIAN (1) scored his maiden win four back and is poised to salute again after finishing in the money at the last three outings, most recently when second over 1m at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
