IRISH WIZARD (3) was well fancied last start over 905m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and is a key runner. CALLISTO'S BRIGADE (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 29 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1308m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. WISHFUL THOUGHTS (4) started at $6.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1308m after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MONKEY WRENCH (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1308m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
