COWBOYS GUN Z (3) was expected to run well when fresh last start but missed the placings over 402m in Group 2 class at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.7 lengths. Has never missed the frame when second-up from three starts and should be better for that first-up run. Winning chance. BIG BANG ROCKET (4) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 320m in Group 2 grade at this track (Dirt) then fought on gamely to finish second. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. LIGHTNIN STRIKES (10) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 99 lengths, over 503m at Group 2 level at this track (Dirt). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. HARD TO POLITIC (5) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second in stakes class at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 320m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
