SPORTING CHICPEA (3) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (29.62) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. CRYSTAL JADE (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.69) last time in an A8 at this track. Leading chance. ASHVILLE BUCKO (5) jumped well to win over the 268m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing third at this track last start. Bold showing expected. CRYSTAL AURORA (6) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
