HEAT CHECK (1) held on well to finish second when when resuming from a break last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after leading for much of the way. Will take catching. CASEOFTHEMONDAYS (5) returned from a three months break over 6f last start and got the job done by 0. 1 lengths at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. DANCING DENAE (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. MISTER ROSCOE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 21 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
