ROAR OF THE BEAST (2) lines up on the back of a 7 length fourth over 1609m at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins and four minor placings from 11 starts. Credentials hard to knock. NOBLE J (1) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. LOCK AND LOAD (4) finished second when resuming two runs back at this track (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Jg Torrealba scored on him last time and retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HE BE HOPPIN (6) performed above expectations last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting the prize by 9 lengths. A chance again based on that latest offering.
