SCOTTISH LAIRD (5) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length after being prominent at the corner over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. RYEWOOD (1) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Races well when second-up. Form at this distance is strong with three wins from six starts and should prove tough to beat. HOT PUDDIN (7) started at $9 last time on the back of a win at Esperance two starts ago but was below his best, finishing ninth over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DANCING JACK (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
