SKIPTHEGUILTTRIP (4) is still a maiden after nine starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) following a minor placing at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 6½f the run prior. Can break through in this suitable contest. PLUM TUFF (1) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at his last appearance over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt) on October 6. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. LORDBETWENTOTHORNS (2) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third when he made late ground at the end of 6½f at Belterra Park. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. TAKE DICTATION (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Thistledown, beaten 8 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
