AVALING (2) scored a 6 length win on dirt at this track two starts back but then disappointed on turf last time at SAM HOUSTON PARK Turf over 1006m when 6 lengths from the winner in fourth. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is among the leading chances. CHECKER'S SONG (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Sure to be tough to hold out. GLOBAL HOLIDAY (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back. Has never missed the frame when third-up and is among the leading chances. SHE'S EXTRA (5) was a fresh up placegetter on dirt two runs back, finishing third over 1207m at this track. Disappointed last start on turf when unplaced over 1006m at SAM HOUSTON PARK Turf. Suited here. Don't underestimate back on dirt.
