TEXAS SNAKEBITE (3) boasts a consistent overall record including six wins from 26 starts, the latest winning (26.12) over 457m at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Does step up in class but has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. GO COOPER (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth last time in a Class 4/5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Faces a significant down grade in class and must be included in calculations. KIND OF MAGIC (7) missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten 10 lengths (26.83) last time at this track. Hard to beat again. IS REX HOME (5) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. Meets a slightly easier field today than last start.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 10 lengths over 457m at this track in a handy 26.12, beating Kind Of Magic. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Has ability and should feature.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Hanzo River over 375m. Would need to lift.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on March 26 over 457m at this track behind Simek beaten 6 lengths (26.42) in a Class 3/4. Placed two back at this track. Has claims on best form.
