SKI COUNTRY (2) was in the money over this journey in a then failed at the longer trip last time when eighth at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and is a leading player. BUBBA GRUMP (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has the talent to produce another positive result. DOCTOR PARDO (4) knuckled down strongly to get within one length of the winner in third last start over 6½f at this track. O Bocachica who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. IMPERIAL KING (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Better than his last start so worth including.
