BUMPKIN (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 11 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. JACOBI (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PLUM TUFF (7) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to turn things around. DRILL EM (4) kicked off this campaign with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
