PASS THE ROSES (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Dirt) over 1408m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Won't mind coming back in distance. Major player. DI RISATA MOLTO (13) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1408m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BANCHERO (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to break through. SAGEBRUSH RUNNER (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. This is a suitable assignment and can get the job done.
