SMART COMET (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished fourth (22.86) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Has a strong record out of this box with seven wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Has ability and is a key runner. FASCINATE GEORGE (7) is on a hot streak recording a 22.77 win over 400m at this track last start following on from a brilliant 22.77 success at this track over 400m the start prior. In form and looks a leading player again. MOLLY ON FIRE (3) jumps at a shorter trip and still warrants respect.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 4th over 400m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (22.86) behind Black Bronti in a Free For All on April 19. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Hit the frame latest (23.25) when second at this track in a NG. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from seven starts. Looks a place chance at best.
