SAMMYSAURUS REX (3) Led from start to finish when winning by 5 1/2L last time at this track. Should jump out and bowl along. Must be considered. POCKET SPEED (6) First run back from a 30 week break. Led from start to finish to win by a margin of just short of 7L last start at this venue. Genuine threat.

At $8.50 was well beaten when 5th last time around here and stepping up to a higher level. Should come to hand quickly. Looks hopeful at best.
