SLY ASH (4) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last four starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A11 at this track (30.55). Worth another chance. SOUTHDOWNS ROSE (5) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only a long neck from the winner Reefer Madness (30.67) at this track. Can measure up. YASSOO MELL (6) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 1.3 lengths into second (30.70) at this track in an A11 over 500m. Expected to be in the finish again. NUNHEAD JOANIE (1) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
