FRENCH ONION (4) went forward last start over 402m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2.25 lengths. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. HERO'S MAN (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Leading player again. ILLINI (6) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. STOMPING MOON (7) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish fifth, beaten 8 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has won two races at this course and distance from six tries. Solid claims on best form.
