TRUST THE WORD (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 6 lengths into third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Will relish the drop in class so he is sure to be right there at the finish. LONGSTRIDER (8) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths starting at $7.40. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. DARKESTACHIEVEMENT (1) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third when he did his best work late at the end of 1106m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. BEKHAMBOY (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
