GALLANT CREEK (6) went forward last start over 905m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 4 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. EL RABANO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1408m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. B THIRSTY (3) progressed nicely last time out when he did his best work late to finish just 0.1 lengths from the winner in second over 905m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. CHARLIE HUSTLE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Monmouth Park Turf, beaten 32 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
