RUM N COKE (6) is on a nine-day back-up after finishing in the money over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Good effort last start and shapes as a major threat. RACING HOT LINE (1) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. THE HOUND (2) resumed over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to run well again. MAGICAL SURPRISE (5) ran well below his best last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into sixth at 4/1. Should park just off the speed. Solid claims on best form.
