TOMMYS MESSI (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in an A4 at this track (24.63) and making it three straight placings. Has the ability and expected to go close. FINBARRS LAUGH (3) rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a nose second at this track over 400m in 24.64. Leading chance. YOUNG EMS (4) hit the ground running from trap four with a sensational early split last time, but run over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fifth (24.81) over 400m at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CRAFTY FRITTO (6) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Overdue for a win recording three minors on end, the latest sizzling early but finishing in the minors again at this track, clocking 24.63. Should prove hard to beat.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a one length win at this track in 24.71. Can sneak into the finish with a repeat of debut run.

Turned in a much better performance last start when third over 400m at this track in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.
