VERDI (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1m contest at this track five weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TIZ DYNAMIC (2) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths starting at 1/1. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WHISKEYTHENWINE (7) is yet to break through after six starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 6f at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. ATMOSPHERIC RIVER (5) finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
