RACCOON ROGER (3) has a strong record this trip including two wins from three starts. Scored by 7 lengths last time (21.51) in a Grade 5 over 380m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. MISS PUMPKIN (5) could manage only second at this track last time but impressed when posting a fast 21.95 over 380m at this track the start prior. Expected to feature on best figures. HARA'S HARPER (1) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (22.07) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. BASIL FAWLTY (8) is a course and distance winner who cannot be left out of calculations.
