STERN SENTENCE (6) is still a maiden after four starts but was placed at Los Alamitos (Dirt) when resuming before finishing seventh at Santa Anita (Dirt) last start. This looks his chance to break through. ENCHANTING FORCE (2) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Sat on the pace at his only start and held on well for third over 914m at this track (Dirt). Sure to have improved over the break and should feature in the finish. DRAW CLOSE (3) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 914m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. SCORCHING HOT (5) is a eight-start maiden who missed the frame first-up but has improved in subsequent runs, finishing in the money last start over 914m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
