PUNK ROCK PICARD (4) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only a head (30.60) behind Ballyborna Lass at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. FRANCO JIM (2) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 285m behind Highfield Lass (17.27) in a D4. Was in the money prior to that. Can measure up this time. DARING DUCHESS (1) progressive type who recorded her 4th career win last time out (30.16) at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. This looks easier and expected to run well. HARLEY QUINN (6) is sure to play a big role again after a run of minor placings.
