VELARDI (2) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length fifth (16.63) but recorded best time of the card when winning three back. Rates on top in this line up. DA MAN JOEY (6) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 462m behind Monroe Marley (28.29) in an A4. Was in the money the start prior. Worth another chance. DEECEE PHOENIX (5) was prominent early from trap 5 and did a fair job to be beaten 4 lengths into second (28.17) at this track in an A4 over 462m. Winning chance. GRUMPY WALTER (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.
