TROOPS (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 14 lengths, over 7f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DEVELOP PRODUCT (3) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 11 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. SEBASTIANTHE FIRST (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 7f at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. TAKE THE GOLD (2) performed above expectations last time over 7f at this track (Dirt), getting the prize by a nose. Settles back early but winds up late. Solid claims on best form.
