DEREK'S LAW (5) was beaten just a nose last start when third in a small field over 1609m at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, can go on to win today. PRINCE OF DANCE (2) maintained his 100% top-three record on dirt two starts ago when third over 1609m at Finger Lakes. Couldn't repeat the feat on turf over 1207m at this track when out of the placings last time. Will be hard to beat back to the dirt here. SHADOW SURGE (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he cannot be underestimated. TAPWRITS TEMPER (6) is backing up nine days after he was safely held in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) against better opposition. Deserves another chance.
