FABULOUS MIRAGE (6) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a HCP three back before a placing at this track the following run. Expecting sharp improvement. BLACKHOUSE BOBBY (4) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Solway Aussie (30.15) in an A4. Likely to play a prominent role. COPPICE MELBELLE (3) has struggling of late. Finished sixth two starts back at this track then when off 8m in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 480m (29.64). Will break from the 6m mark. Capable of a far better effort. ALNWICK LOTTIE (5) missed the frame two runs back when started off 3m at this track then won at her latest appearance by 4 lengths when off 3m in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.40). Has a 1m start on the scratch dog. Talented handicapper who has six wins and four placings from 16 runs from the staggered start. Hard to leave out.
