DIRTY STRAIGHT UP (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. SLEWSSONGOFTHENILE (5) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the turn before finishing second over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASTHECOLDWINDBLOWS (7) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning form. GABE'S POSSUM (8) did a great job to score by 7 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a nice progression the first-up effort. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
