KING FREUD (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1710m after being in contention all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STONE COLD FLEX (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 6 lengths away in third over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DUNEDIN CAUSEWAY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 24 lengths when eighth over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. VINO COURAGIO (6) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1646m at this track (Dirt), beaten 28 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
