STORMIN SAMMY (7) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LOOKIN' SUPER (5) drifted well back last start then came with a powerful run to finish 1.4 lengths from the winner in third when resuming over 905m at this track (Dirt). Leading player tough to stop. STARSHIP TANGO (8) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1006m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Worth noting his second up record is strong. Among the leading chances. REVIVALISM (4) won at this track and distance at his last outing six months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
