GRUMPY PIP (6) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again over 462m at this track, clocking 28.27. Expected to feature in the finish again. HIGHVIEW ARROW (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (27.86) at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. ZEBEDEE PAPHOS (2) latest effort finished 3rd over 462m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (28.39) behind Velardi in an A5 on October 23. Looks well placed here and among the chances. GRUMPY ADAGIO (1) is on a run of three wins – hard to fault that form.
