GRID GIRL (7) was a last-start winner from the inside at this track and distance (18.40), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Can make it back to back wins. SAMMY MY BOY (5) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 340m at Bulli in a useful 19.18 on March 10. In form and must include in calculations. STEPHEN WITHERAP (3) was strongly fancied last time but finished fifth (18.55) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Expected to feature in the finish. BUGATTI RICO (1) won by a wide margin last start. Sure to run well again.

Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (18.40) in a NG over 320m at this track. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and should feature.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 320m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (18.28) behind Gus And Glory in a Free For All on March 11. Good beginner who with clear running out wide can give a bold sight.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
