SUMMER DREAM (8) goes very well this trip starting 48 times for 18 wins and 15 minors. Below best last time at Richmond (23.02) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Looks a key chance on best form. HOT SPARK (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with 11 wins and eight minors from 25 tries. Comes off a (20.72) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a Grade 5 over 365m at this track. Looks one of the chances. ZIPPING AUGUSTA (7) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his scintillating 20.37 win at this track over 365m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Should be in this for a long way. KUNG FU BAY (2) generally performs well from this box.

Placed last time (20.79) at this track in a NG, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
