FLAMING FOX (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 8 length seventh (19.91) but scored three back at this track (19.38). The form out of last race has been strong. Has winning claims on his best figures. KID GULLA (8) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 16 length 5th at Sandown (30.35). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MAJOR ILLUSION (4) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (19.48) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can improve sharply here. ASTON MORENO (7) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (19.91) when seventh over 350m at this track in a Grade 5 FIN. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and four places from 10 starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (19.34) over 350m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but capable of a better result.

Ended last campaign with a fifth (30.35) in a GR 5 H at Sandown and returns after a 11 weeks break. Has started fresh up two times for a win and a placing. Makes plenty of appeal fresh.
