LOU'S BIRTHDAY (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 3 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Ready to go a couple better. ECUMENICAL (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1. 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Winning hope again. WORLD ON FIRE (3) was safely held when fifth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 5. 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. ARTIST MARK (1) finished fifth last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Cannot be underestimated.
