DON'T HIT ME BASH (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 6f at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. A SKIP IN THE PARK (7) has been in the money at his last two outings, finishing third last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Yet to break through at this trip but has registered two minor placings. Genuine contender. MACCHIATO D'ORO (8) finished fifth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Capable of playing a big role. MISTER MAFIOSO (3) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
