DIGNIFIED RESPONSE (7) performed above expectations last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting the prize by 0.3 lengths. Strong chance again today. KING KHALI (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. The engagement of A S Worrie is a positive move. Likely improver with strong prospects. MONTAUK SURF (10) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and he looms as a significant threat. NIGHTMISSIO (1) finished third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Ready to go a couple better.
