HOXTON STAR (3) followed a unplaced effort at this track two back with a sound third, beaten 5 lengths, last start in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.18). Drops a class and gets chance to find winning form. ROSSTEMPLE CHASE (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was an A7 winner three back (28.52) at this track over 450m. Well placed here and should do much better. DA BALLERINA (4) finished third two starts back before missing the placings at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.67). Can bounce back this easier company. SAVANA MAI (5) missed the placings when resuming from a break in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.87). Fitter and can bounce back this easier company.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing sixth Swindon in 29.59. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Turned in a better effort over 450m at this track last start, finishing third behind Great Time in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Well beaten when resuming over 450m at this track, finishing fifth (28.87) and beaten 14 lengths. Yet to win but has placed once from one second-up runs. Fitter and looks a danger on best.
