LITTLE SHANCE (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 3.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. SPECTACULAR D'ORO (3) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Likely improver with strong prospects. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 21 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MOBIL MISSION (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 22, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Now under the care of new trainer Gary L Johnson. Makes plenty of appeal.
