UNLIKELY BARRY (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (30.39) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can discover winning form. ROMEO TRIBUTE (5) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.92) at this track over 500m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Expected to feature again. SALACRES SLICK (4) was below best last time but the start prior was an A3 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track over 500m in an A3. Can find the frame this time. MAKEIT EPIC (3) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (30.39) over 500m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.
