CARSON (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1408m after being prominent at the corner. Ready to go one better. PAIRED (5) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just half a length over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VINO DOMINUS (9) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into sixth over 1308m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. WHATEVER (11) improved last time out, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in third over 1811m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.
