AUSTONIAN (8) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to feature when ninth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (4) showed good speed here last time over 6½f until tiring late and finishing fifth, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Expected to measure up here. Worth another try. OOBUBBAKAKAYO (2) got well back over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 8 lengths away in sixth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BROADWAY UNIONS (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 1. 3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. No reason he cannot salute again.
