PARDSY (4) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten one length, over 6f at this track. Expecting a bold showing. HIDDEN PROMISE (9) met with solid support last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Deserves another chance. ALMOND CIDER (8) continued the good recent form when he finished just 2.25 lengths away in third last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. SIR CUPID (5) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Worth noting his second up record is strong. Expected to do far better this time.
