SURPRISE ROAD TRIP (7) returns after a spell of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at Delta Downs. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. COPPER ECHO (4) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track (Dirt) over today's journey. Watch for another barnstorming finish. IN THE MIX (1) finished 8 lengths back in sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should camp just off the leaders. Capable of testing this field. LAST DIAMOND (2) finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
