NEED TO KNOW BASIS (3) travelled in a rearwards position and turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Nicely placed to turn things around. MISTER MOBIL (1) was well in commission last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 10 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. SAMMY'S SMILE (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 11 lengths away in fifth over 1609m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MO DONT NO (6) was safely held when third last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
