SAIMER BOB (4) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (30.02) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. GUNNER LAD (6) hit the ground running and was prominent to the turn but faded out of it when 5th at this track in A6 company. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Leading chance. ROYAL BLACK (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (30.61), beaten 15 lengths. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from 10 starts. One of the main contenders. HOME MAEVE (5) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out.
