SIMPLE SIMON (2) finished second (15.90) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Has a good record here at this journey. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. KANTURK JOKE (4) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 16.11 beating Hi Tyson. Can measure up again. LINKS STOKER (1) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths (16.09) behind In The Net at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Well placed and gets his chance. SLEEPY BALE (5) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a D2 at this track over 261m.

Last start finished last on May 25 over 261m at this track behind In The Net beaten 3.5 lengths (16.22) in a D2. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row. Deserves another chance.
