SKIPPER'S PRIDE (2) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 6 lengths, over today's trip at this track (Dirt). This is a nice race and can take this out.

DU MONDE (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.3 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
