OBLITERATION (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 6 lengths back in third over 1408m in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at this track (Dirt). The engagement of Jose Ortiz is noteworthy. Has the talent to take this out. SOLITUDE DUDE (3) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing seventh over 1408m in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at this track (Dirt) last start. Can bounce back. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE (2) clung on to finish third last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Steps up a level but he is good enough. GILDED BANDIT (4) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fourth over 1408m in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
