VELVET BLACK (1) missed the frame last time when sixth (29.05) at this track in an A2 but not beaten far the start prior. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. LUMP ON COL (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.24) last time in an A2 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. TODDYS ACE (3) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his excellent 28.81 win at this track over 480m. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. ATLANTAS BLU (2) looks a top-three chance while fresh.
