AFFECTIONATELY (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 318m at this track (19.62) in a Class 1 H, the second top-three finish on the trot. Has been racing very honestly of late and deserves solid market support. MY CRUSADER (6) finished second (19.28) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 7th. Raced in the veteran grade last start. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HUNTER PEARL (5) latest effort finished 6th over 318m at this track beaten 5 lengths (19.26) behind Paradise Point in a Class 1/2 on April 19. Faces a slight down grade in class and can hit the frame with the right run. SCOTCH (4) has definite claims fresh from a spell. Is having first race-day look at this course but recently had a solo trial (19.18) on this track over 318m.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 318m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Hit the frame latest (19.62) when third at this track in a Class 1 H. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Hard to beat with even luck.
