THE HOUND (6) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. DOCTOR PARDO (3) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the bend at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths starting at 11/2. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HURRICANE ALERT (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 3, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). One to consider. JACK'S ALOHA (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
