MERTONABY OPAL (1) recorded his 1st career win last time out (30.66) at this track and drawn trap 1 for the first time here. Sure to prove hard to beat. COPPICE CONNIE (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.78) last time in an A9 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Worth following up. VIOLET FREYA (2) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 4 length third behind Drive On Annie in 30.73. Strong run and expected to feature again. FWESH JULIE ROSE (3) can find the frame without surprising.
