WHISKEY ALLEY (6) scored by half a length two back at this track (Dirt) then filled a placing last time at this track (Dirt). Drops a little in the weights. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Leading contender. DESIGNED BY SMARTY (2) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 32 lengths away in seventh over 1207m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. RAG MAMA RAG (7) resumes from a spell of five months and is having his first outing under new trainer Mark V Salvaggio. Finished seventh at Parx (Dirt) over 1106m at the opening run last time in work. Sound top-three prospects. MENCKE (4) showed good early speed over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 1.75 lengths. Must be respected.
