BURNING LEAVES (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SKIPPER'S PRIDE (2) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1609m at this circuit. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Among the leading chances. BOBBY'S GIFT (1) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. FIRST SHOT FIRED (3) was in contention on the corner and made late ground and finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better.
