VERRY TIMELY (4) took advantage of the good draw last start and was in the firing line for much of the way before being swamped in the run home, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 7½f at Ascot. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Expected to be in the finish. SIR BEAR A LOT (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f207yards at Narrogin, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SALARY MAN (6) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid fifth when resuming last start over 5f207yards at Narrogin. Meets a tougher line-up this time but has winning claims. PLAYIN' HARDBALL (5) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 5f207yards at Narrogin. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
