PAINTED LAD (2) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 12 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. RICH MOUNTAIN (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 5f at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is definitely worth including. RIPSTER (6) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten half a length into third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Can run a bold race. CLOUDY PAST (3) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. One of the main hopes.
