HIDDEN RANSOM (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. The engagement of Rocco Bowen is a positive move. Nicely placed to return to winning form. RECKLESS L J (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Enjoys a drop in grade so he is sure to be there at the business end. FOURDATESFORHOCO (7) finished 9 lengths behind the winner in fifth place when resuming over 1106m last start at this track (Dirt). Has been in the money at each second up start. Expected to run well. KNOCK WOOD (2) was below his best last time when eighth over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone.
