KATMANDU (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from seven outings. Should be hard to stop. DIRECT APPEAL (7) returned to winning form last start, scoring by a nose over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Leading player. BEJUCO (3) finds it hard to win with two victories from 43 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6½f at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. RAGTIME SCRIBBLE (1) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance four months ago over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Can make his presence felt.
