TYSON'S LIL' STAR (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. DIXIE'S MEMORY (1) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. RIVER BYE (4) resumes from a spell of eight months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1207m at this track. Bold showing expected. PROFESSOR NICK (3) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing eighth over 1207m at this track last start. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and deserves respect.
