FRANKTON POPPY (6) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 21 from 40 starts. Finished third (16.33) at this track last time making it five minors on end. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from 13 attempts. Capable of going well again. DASHING TOM (4) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 1.5 lengths second (16.33) in a D4. Worth another try. CHOICES JESS (1) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 16 lengths, in a D3 at this track over 270m (17.66). Capable of a lot better this class. SALACRES LUIGI (3) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.
