STONE MAN (8) is racing well, scoring two back at this track (Dirt) before finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. CASH'S PAL (1) performed above expectations last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing one length from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Will be hard to stop. TOUGH TOMMY (3) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. MACHO FORTY FIVE (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Elvin Gonzalez gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around.
