HOLD MY SCOTCH (10) has been in the money two times including last start on November 28 when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Likely to be in the finish. NOGAL (6) started at $7.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 21 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. READS ARTFUL RUN (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. MARK OF AN ANGEL (4) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Marking from Our Flying Angel who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Promising type who is ready to run boldly.
