DREAM BOY (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing tenth and beaten 16 lengths over 1710m in stakes class at Belterra Park (Dirt). Nice class drop this time. Leading contender. PAUL RALPH (8) is on debut for the J L Radosevich stable. Three-year-old gelding by Fort Larned from Miss Kim. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. BAY JA BLUE (6) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing sixth, beaten 9 lengths, last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Strong chance this time. LUCY'S FIRST SONG (2) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 17 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time. Something for the Multiples: DELIGHTFUL APPEAL (7)

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on August 13 over 1106m, 17 len behind Dreamliner's Kid with 56kg at $23.50. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on July 23 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind El Canelo One with 56kg at $18.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.
