MATTHEW'S PATRIOT (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. POWERFUL PHIL (2) turned things around last start and got the job done by 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. HITE (3) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 20 lengths away in seventh over 1207m at this track. Becerra Fernando Salazar gets the best out of this seven-year-old entire. Has the ability to produce a better result. STONE COLD CAT (6) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Looks a definite top-three candidate.
