BOWTIE BOYS (9) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. CUPID'S CRUSADER (5) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BATTLE CRUISER (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when fifth in a 1m1f contest at this track three weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BIG BET (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
