IT HOUSTON (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when half a length away in second over 274m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. HEZ OUT FOR BLOOD (7) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when prominent at the turn, finishing a nose from the winner in second at the end of 320m at this track. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. CYBER SUNSHINE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth in a 302m contest at Remington Park seven weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so she can find the winners' list. SOUR CREAM PIE (10) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 229m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
