I GOT THE HINT (5) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. A HINT OF SCANDEL (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Has a good association with Jamison Mudd with a run of three top-three results. Best form puts him right in this. DIRTY STRAIGHT UP (8) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in contention on the corner, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MY TOUCH (3) is a well-related three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Star Guitar from Touch Magic who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race.
