COLONEL PUNCH (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 27/01/2025, finishing ninth and beaten 16 lengths over 6½f at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SAPELLO SICARIO (4) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 4½f at this track, finishing 11 lengths from the winner. Has the right credentials. WF FRANKLY MY DEAR (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 4½f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BITTEN (5) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep 20 months ago over 5f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Among the better hopes.
