BOULDER DASH (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (24.69) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here sound including five wins. Should be very hard to beat this time. ZAP (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (25.05) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Can measure up this time. NED THE KNIGHT (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (24.83) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can figure in the finish. HELLO COOPER (7) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.
