CROOKS ON FIRE (3) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 2nd on October 29 over 480m at this track behind Nitro Nylo beaten 4 lengths (29.12) in an A2. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. One of the leading chances. DA SHORT HAUL (5) followed a placing two back with a sound second, beaten one length, last start in an A1 at this track over 480m (28.85) and looks overdue for a win. Should improve further this easier company. DUNELM LE FEE (2) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2 length winner of an A3 at this track over 480m (28.73). Rises a grade but expected to measure up. GOOD TEDDY (1) placed last time out so worth considering.
