SOULLESS (6) resumed last time out and finished third over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Profiles nicely. SMOKIN JOE (2) has not been sighted since he finished third over 6f at Belterra Park on September 20. Sure to prove tough to beat. DUSTY BILLY (5) was sent out favourite but could only finish fourth over 1m1/4f at this track last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS (7) showed good early speed over 6f at this track (Dirt) on debut last start and went on to salute by 0.3 lengths. Among the top-three contenders.
