GENERAL ISSUE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HEAD LAD (7) found a couple better last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the corner. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from eight starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. SPURS UP (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SISYPHUS (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1710m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
