SIR ELI (1) is backing up quickly after a definitive victory at this track (Dirt) only 5 days ago, leading throughout for a 4.5 lengths success. The one to catch again. WESTERN TOURIST (6) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the bend to score by 0.3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a big chance to go back-to-back. BARBIERE (5) was never in contention when 16 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1m1/4f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his when resuming fourth at this track the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. OPTIMAL (8) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length over 6f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
