TORO NERO (8) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths (20.28) behind Be My Tiger at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must come into calculations. BEAR HUNT (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 6 lengths at this track after jumping from box 8 (20.30). Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Leading chance again. MERRY MYRTLE (6) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 0.9 lengths third (20.31) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. AWE REALLY (7) is one of the chances after a minor prize at this track and distance last time.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.9 lengths third (20.31) over 350m at this track. Has ability and among the chances.
