ANGRY CHIEF (8) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.87) at Sandown over 515m. Sure to be about the mark. GOLD CODE (7) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of three starts. Below best last time at this track (35.27) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 7 length sixth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. NOVA OWEN (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (29.77) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Sandown. Key player on best and worth another try. KNOCKABOUT KID (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (29.87) over 515m at Sandown. Nicely drawn on the inside and in the mix on his best form.

Most recent effort finished last on December 17 over 525m at this track behind Whispered beaten 29 lengths (31.66) in a Grade 5. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sale, clocking a brilliant 28.59 for the 510m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
