RATLIFF CITY (2) had been in great form winning two on end before finishing second last time out over 5½f at this track. Rates highly this line up and is worth another chance. LT NORM (5) ran a strong third over 6f at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 1m when fifth, beaten 13 lengths. Appeals back in trip this time so can atone. SAINT PIO (1) found plenty to get the prize by 6 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has a high cruising speed. Will give backers a great sight. LAB RAT (3) is having his first run since winning by 3.5 lengths eight days ago over 7½f at this track. Has transferred to the Jared Brown stable over the break.
