STOMPING MOON (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 2. 2. 5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has the ability to maintain the momentum. ILLINI (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 5½f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is all set to build on that latest effort. ABSOLUTE GRIT (2) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Distance specialist with five wins and 11 minor placings from 24 runs and shapes as one to consider. EL ROSILLO (3) was safely held when fifth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 4. 5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
