DOUBLE SALTY (7) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1006m at this track last start. J Melancon sticks. Leading contender. RUNNING BAYOU (4) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In-form four-year-old gelding so he is a leading contender. IMPERIAL BANDIT (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.6 lengths away in third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to take this out. HE'S EXAGGERATING (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
