LONG BATTLE (5) is in hot form winning his last two on end, the latest jumping from this same trap to score in a D2 at this track (17.19). Has the ability and looks hard to top. LUMINOUS DREAM (3) shapes well after a sharp run last time, finishing second in a D2 at this track in 17.29. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BALLARUE ROLO (1) shapes well for this on his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 275m in 17.03 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Top win three back and rates a key player again. SPORTING VENUS (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole in a quick run last time.
