STAR MICHAEL (1) is a promising dog in the frame at six of 12 starts including three wins and was a last start winner (29.78) over 480m at this track. Performs well off this trap. Drawn the rails and rates a key runner. EMMERDALE NOEL (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (29.63) at this track. Leading player again. APACHE ROBIN (4) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.60 beating Emmerdale Noel. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. ROYAL BLACK (2) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a one length second (29.83) in an A6 at this track.
