BOUNCING MONARCH (2) is a smart dog who ran the fastest time on the card last time scoring by 2.75 lengths (29.79) at Doncaster. Fast beginner who should quickly stride to the lead. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Hard to go past. HAGGARD BADGER (6) ran a slick 30.01 when filling a minor placing over 483m at Doncaster last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. LEIGHAS DREAM (5) missed the frame latest (29.53) when fourth over 480m at Newcastle in a OR2. Has already won 13 times from this trap. Makes strong appeal on best. SOAPY SUDS (3) warrants respect although new to this track.
