GOVENOR HANK (2) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten a nose, over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims. CUTLASS KING (4) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back. SHORTSTOP (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1609m after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. RED SPEEDO (7) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
