ICY TURNPIKE (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 229m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to take this out. RUN FOR MILES (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 302m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to be prominent. LACHISMOSA (1) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 302m at this track (Dirt). Among the leading hopes. AM DASHING LIVEWIRE (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 101m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
