BAXLEY (4) finished second when resuming two runs back at Canterbury Park (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 2.25 lengths as favourite over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession. GOOD APPLE (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.3 lengths away in second over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Will relish the drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. CONGRATS ON FIFTY (1) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as favourite over 5f at this track (Dirt). Has the class to build on that fine effort last start. ABSOLUTE CHAOS (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 10 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
