WELLSTREET CATH (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from the winner Essjay Sonia (43.81) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. One of the contenders. VONDER EXPRESS (3) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 0.8 lengths (29.62). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Well-placed to take this out. SILVERHILL HANK (4) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last six runs. Last start finished 3rd over 712m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (44.05) behind Essjay Sonia in a S2 on March 28. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading chance. ROMEO ECHO (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a head last start at this track over 500m (29.65). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.
