ROCKSALOT (3) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. COLONEL BROCK (5) showed good speed and fought on for a place when second over 4½f at this track (Dirt) last time. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. BOOMING BERNARDO (7) has been in the placings 10 times from 31 outings. Last start finished fifth over 5f at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record here with three top-three finishes from six starts. Has to be respected. RIVER'S BENCHMARK (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0. 8 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp.
