LIGHTFOOT CLARK (2) racing well without winning, placing at his last eight runs. Last time finished 3rd over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (29.58) behind Nanna Betty in an A2 on December 20. One of the contenders. BURROW NITRO (4) followed a moderate sixth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.61). Well placed this class and looks a key runner based on best form. TROOPER MCEVOY (1) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.53). This easier and can improve sharply. ALNWICK AVA (3) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.
