WAR COMMANDER (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOUTHERN DREAM (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1408m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. DESERT AIRE (5) went forward last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIBERTY RUNNER (6) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Likely improver with strong prospects.
