CLAY LIONESSES (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.69) in an A7 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning eight races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can make amends. GRUMPY TURNIP (5) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 8 length 5th at this track (29.36). Will give the top chances plenty to think about. JULIES TREAT (4) makes her debut in a handicap and has a 4m start on the scratch dog. Returned with a moderate fifth, beaten 8 lengths, (29.20) at this track over 462m. Can run a cheeky race this line-up. HEATHSASTRIKER (1) followed a minor placing starting off 13m in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing sixth last start, beaten 6 lengths, in an A8 at this track over 462m (29.48). Back to a handicap this time and will enjoy the 11m start. Overall a capable handicapper who has one win and one placings from two runs from the staggered start. Can turn things around.
