NAVARINO (1) lit up the clock in 36.40 when winning a Special conditions race over 640m at Sale last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. XENI BALE (2) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won three times from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.48) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Can feature in the finish. ASTON GOZO (5) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a nose, (30.09) at The Meadows. Overdue and gets her chance. SILKY SAUCE (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 6th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 8 lengths (30.48) behind Zygon Bale in a Grade 5 on February 1. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 515m in 29.53. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at this track at Free For All level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2.25 lengths win at this track over 515m in 29.61. Can keep things rolling.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
