APPLEGATE JET (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (27.34) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. One of the leading chances. TOMMYS BIRDY (3) recorded a 4 length win in an A7 last time 27.12 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SALEMS MICKEY (6) has been out of the placings the last couple but was an A7 winner (27.50) three back at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. BROWNS BARBIE (4) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (27.42), beaten 3.5 lengths.
