LOVELY MADELINE (3) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her powerful win the start prior, getting around this track over 380m in 21.77. Rates on top and can find winning form again. PHOENIX SILVER (7) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (29.12) in a Grade 5/6 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. BARNSLEY (1) was in the minors two back (28.98) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. One of the main contenders. EXPLOSIVE JEM (8) placed last time out so worth considering.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 498m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
