LACE UP (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Rates highly and should go well. CAUGHT OFF GUARD (4) missed the frame on turf over 1609m at CANTERBURY PARK Turf two back then filled a minor placing last start on the same surface at CANTERBURY PARK Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths over the 1609m journey. Racing well and is in the mix again back on dirt. HEY RIVER (6) finished seventh two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length after being in the firing line on the corner over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. NORTH ARM BAY (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention.
