DORIS AVENUE (7) took advantage of the good draw and sat on the pace last start before tiring to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 5f at this track (Dirt). Expected to be in this for a long way. TOUGH AS AN OX (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 6f at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 0. 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. DOMINATE (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. MANZONI (4) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Among the better chances.
