WHOSTHEGRADER (5) has good early dash but last time was shuffled out the back and missed the frame, finishing fifth (15.96) in a D4 at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ESSJAY SYD (3) was a course and distance placegetter (15.74) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3 length third in a D4. Can measure up. MOANING SALIBA (4) followed a minor placing first up with a win by 10 lengths last start in a D5 at this track over 238m (15.32). Up a notch here but latest effort enough to test this field. ESSJAY FALSTAFF (2) comes under notice as a past winner at this course and distance.
