GROUCHOS JOE (3) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran blistering time when scoring over 275m at this track in 17.12. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. DONISHALL FREE (4) broke from this trap and proved too strong when a 3 length winner in fast time (17.15) in a D3 at this track. Expected to feature again. DUGGIES DANCE (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.38) at this track behind Da President in a D2. Hard to beat again. ANOTHER PHOENIX (1) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage second (17.46) at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes.
