RIPSLINGER RIOT (4) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at Ascot Park (26.61), making it two straight wins. Has a good record here at this journey. Happy to have him on top this line-up. ALEX JEWEL (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 295m at this track (18.14) in a Class 1, the second top-three finish on the trot. Key player on best and worth another try. GOTCHA SUNNY (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (17.53) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Does drop in class and is a great chance to atone. JAMES BAXTER (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run. Another who is down grading in class today.
