BALL OF FIRE (7) finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. IF I CAN DREAM (5) is racing well, scoring two back at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Can return to winning form. SUPER KICK (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. I'M MISCHIEVOUS (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. Something for the Multiples: CANDY ROAD (2)

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on March 4 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind El Orejon carrying 54.5kg at $7. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on February 20 over 1408m, 2.75 len behind El Orejon with 56kg at $8.60. Sure to be about the money.
