ACTIVE PRESENT (1) resumed with a plain effort to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 450m (29.03). This easier and fitter so not to be underestimated. HAVANA SPECIAL (5) had trap 4 last start and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.75 lengths, (28.25) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from seven starts. Sure to be about the mark. BUTTERBRIDGE ADA (2) claimed an A5 win two back before missing the frame at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.22). Suited here and expected to bounce back. DARBYSHILL NANCY (3) is a C McNicholas-trained newcomer by Good Cody out of Fiesta. Respect any strong moves in the market.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 1.75 lengths third (28.25) over 450m at this track last time. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
