CROOKED DREAMS (2) returns from a substantial spell and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Opened last prep with a third at Laurel (Dirt) over 1408m. A big return looks on the cards. RANSOM MONEY (8) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the class to figure prominently. ON TAP (4) settled well back and failed to come on in the straight last start when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over this course and distance. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. MR AMERICAN (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
