ECUMENICAL (1) was well in commission last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when sixth, beaten 18 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. BLO BY'EM (3) was in the money last time at this track (Dirt) over 1408m when favourite. Leading contender. ELLINGER (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. WORLD ON FIRE (5) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
