DR INSPIRED (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish. SOUND CITY (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Will need a good ride from Rocco Bowen off the awkward draw. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RIPMAN (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1207m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SCIOTO (5) started at $4.20 last time but could only manage seventh, beaten 11 lengths, at Belterra Park over 1609m. Becerra Fernando Salazar is yet to win when aboard but has never been out of the money from three rides. Solid claims on best form.
