HALCROW SALTIRE (5) latest effort finished 3rd in a D3 on November 28 over 270m at this track behind Swift Wag beaten 5 lengths (16.42). Looks suited here and rates on top. KATES CHARM (6) has been out of the placings the last couple but was an A6 winner (29.16) three back at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SHORTWOOD UNO (3) missed the frame last time when fifth (29.60) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Leading chance. GROUP BLONDIE (4) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.
