Likely to feature. DIXIE'S MEMORY (2) has been about the money with two minor placings from four starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Jose A Bracho who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. DUO (5) was a gutsy winner two runs back then finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on July 2. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures.
