ITDONTCOMEEASY (9) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Big chance based on that effort. BIG SKOOKUM (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MY PATRIOT (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 2.75 lengths. Should be thereabouts. LORD BLOCK (2) was beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 1106m at Hawthorne two weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
