IL VAGABUNDO (3) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. CHICKEN DANCE (6) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) 12 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. SCOTTIE TOO HOTTIE (2) started at $6.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 18 lengths at this track (Synthetic) over 1106m. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. PRONTI O MENO (5) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the closing stages. Expected to feature again.
