DEADPAN (6) turned things around last start and scored by 1. 75 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 7f at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. DIRECT APPEAL (4) settled well back before finishing 9 lengths adrift in fourth over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. SILENT ROAR (1) was always well out of his ground when 16 lengths from the winner in eighth over 7f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EPIC LUCK (5) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2. 5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out.
