MISSOURI RIVER (2) went forward last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 1.4 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SUNDAY SPIRIT (3) started favourite last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) but found one better, making it four minor placings from four starts this campaign. Much better gate this time so he looks a top contender again. PATRIARCHAL (1) went forward last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.1 lengths. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MR BOGAN (11) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
