UNION COACH (6) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0. 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend as favourite over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SMOOCHING (4) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when prominent at the bend before winding up in second over 6½f at this track, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. COASTAL GIRL (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when seventh over 5½f at this track five weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. PRETTYWITTYANDWISE (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see her in contention.
