ARKA NOBLE (4) recorded his best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 6 length second behind Galloping Jessie in 20.24. Going well and rates on top. WOODSIDE WOMBAT (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.75 lengths fifth (24.93) over 435m at Sale. Key runner on best form. SOMERTON ANN (8) finished third (20.31) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 7th there. Worth following up. BLACK PISTOL (6) cannot be underestimated.

Missed the frame latest (25.12) when fifth over 435m at Sale in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (20.50) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed seven times. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 20.39. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 435m at Sale at Grade 5 level. Can't make much of a case this time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (20.31) at big odds over 350m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks a each way chance only this field.
