GOLDEN RIVER (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f124yards at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is one of the key runners. BLACK MAGICIAN (1) is going well, scoring by 0. 8 lengths two runs back at this track (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 4f124yards at this track (Dirt). Salvador R Vargas who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. TOOK CHARGE (6) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 3. 5 lengths into fourth over 4f124yards at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. DIAL A FRIEND (9) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.
