RITA SKEETER (2) recorded a 8 length third in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win last time 22.89 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Looks the one to beat on best. LIVE FOREVER (5) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (22.53) at this track in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win over 390m. Expected to feature again. BEN SHIRAZ (4) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing eighth (23.87) at this track last time. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW QUADE (8) should be thereabouts.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (22.80) over 390m at this track. Awkwardly drawn and will need to find best.
