JRS SHEZA CARTEL (2) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when seventh over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Fitter and capable of taking this out. SS VAQUERO (9) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2. 75 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. MCKENZIE FOOSE (7) will find this a little easier than her second on debut a month ago, beaten 1. 5 lengths at the end of 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so another top-three finish is on the cards. HONDO 44 (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt), beaten 2. 25 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out.
