MIKEYS PICK (6) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (29.86), beaten 39 lengths. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from eight starts. Should be very hard to beat this time. CRUCIAL RUBY (1) is a last start placegetter in an A7, jumping from this trap and finishing a 3 length third over 415m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including three wins and five placings from 12 starts. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. COOLRUSS IZZY (5) latest effort finished last on October 21 over 238m at this track behind Classic Lisa beaten 4 lengths (16.17) in a D5. Among the main chances. PARADISE LIBERTY (4) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
