MORNING CUP (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2.25 lengths. Distance specialist with three wins and 11 minor placings from 21 runs and shapes as a key contender. FREDDY J (7) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths. The engagement of Kevin Roman is noteworthy. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. HOOKED ON DREAMS (1) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.3 lengths away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well-placed and expected to feature again. STROLLER BOY (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1207m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
