NANS STARLING (3) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (29.54) but scored four back at this track (29.12). Should be very hard to beat this time. BLUE BUCKO (2) turned in a solid run last start over 480m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 1.2 lengths (29.41). Key runner who gets his chance to atone. KNOCKDUFF WILD (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.5 lengths second (29.38) in an A4 at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. SLANEYSIDE FLO (5) was strongly fancied but finished third last time (29.49) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 1.2 lengths (29.41) in an A4 over 480m at this track. Forgive the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.7 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
