JUST RELAX (2) ran well below his best last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths into fifth at 9/2. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. CURLIN GUNNER (1) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing seventh over 7f at this track (Dirt) most recently. Finds a nice race and can make amends. JOHNNYFRENCHFRI (9) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when when resuming after a lay-off last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and expected to feature. ELUSIVE D'ORO (7) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
