STONE COLD PUNK (4) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Finished in the minors last time when second (30.41) at this track making it back to back placings. Makes plenty of appeal. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, in an A8 at this track over 500m (31.08). Can do much better this easier company. SHARP SURPRISE (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (30.84) last time in an A9 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. CROHANE PEARL (2) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.
