STRONG POTENTIAL (9) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has a good association with S Elliott with a run of three top-three results. Should be in the finish. BERRY MISCHIEVOUS (4) scored a good win two starts back on dirt then missed the placings on turf last time in a Listed Race at LONE STAR PARK Turf over 1006m, beaten 7 lengths. Nice class drop this time. Best form puts him right in this. MELLENCAMP (2) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. SANDS OF TIME (8) got off the mark over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
