TAKE A STANCE (3) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing eighth at this track (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers on he makes considerable appeal. TRANQUIL SEA (2) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Great chance to break through. FLINT STEEL (1) is facing the starter for the first time. By Mor Spirit and hails from the Linda Rice stable. Any push in betting should be respected. INTROUBLEAGAIN (7) finished 27 lengths away in 12th at his last appearance over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 5 after he was well back on straightening. Likely to be thereabouts.
