COMEDY TOWN (7) has recorded three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Was handy all the way and finished 1. 5 lengths from the winner in second last start over 7f at Del Mar (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SIMPLE SONG (1) broke through for his maiden win over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is worth including. RED FLAG (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Del Mar, beaten 2. 75 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. WHISKYGINANDBRANDY (4) is back at the races for the first time since January 18. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Del Mar. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
