SLANESTOWN BEAR (6) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by half a length in a D2 last time at this track over 261m (15.97). Goes up a level but on latest effort worth sticking with him. BLUE RIBBON (5) ran good time (16.01) when third last start over 261m at this track, the second placing in a row. Can improve sharply here. HOLLYHILL COOPER (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Rocky Bay Eske (16.24) in a D1. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Bold showing expected. WESTFORTH KING (2) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 450m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (27.50) beating Fair Well in an A3 on September 14. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Finished second at big odds last time (16.24) over 261m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just eight of 89 runs. Deserves respect.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 261m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Recorded a half a length win (15.97) in a D2 last time over 261m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and 10 minor placings from 18 tries. Well placed and should feature.
