SPECIAL GRAY CARTEL (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 274m at this track (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MENTAL LAPSE (2) hasn't been far off a win, the latest finishing fifth over 274m at this track (Dirt), and is down in the weights this time. Rates well and gets chance to break through. FYRESTORM (1) was well supported when resuming last start but missed the placings in fourth over 274m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. BDR EAGLE DYNASTY (3) has enjoyed a let-up of five weeks since he won when resuming over 274m at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Fitter for that last hitout and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
