BRAT (2) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fifth over 6f at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. ZESTY SPICE (4) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 3 lengths victory over 7f at this track six days ago. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from six runs and is a leading contender. VENTING (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. GREAT BUY (1) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
