SMASH (1) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Will relish the drop in class so he is ready to find the winners' list. ANDY CANT (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1811m at Mountaineer Park after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MAGICAL MONARCH (7) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Has the talent to find the winners' list. ROAD TO STARDOM (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1673m at this track, beaten 10 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: DREAM KNIGHT (4)
