TEXAS SPLURGE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1609m at Belterra Park, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SPOONIE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at Mountaineer Park after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. LUCKY DESTINY (7) is racing well, scoring by 2.25 lengths two back at this track (Dirt) then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt) when not too far away. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. SOUTH OF BIRMINHAM (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 6 lengths last time out over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
