SILENT DRILL (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PAINT THE TOWN (8) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. A VAN ON THE RUN (11) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1207m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths.

Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
