WESTERN GRIT (3) has been in the market at his last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at this track (Dirt) over 5f. Likely improver who should be in the finish this time. RONCHETTI (7) was below his best last time when tenth over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. POP ON ICE (4) started at 6/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4. 5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 2f. Has the class to take care of this field. STAY BY THE BEACH (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 16 lengths into tenth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
