CROOKS JANUARY (6) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 3.5 lengths, last start when starting off scratch in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.36). Will jump off scratch. Talented handicapper who has two wins and five placings from seven runs from the staggered start. The testing material. PATTERDALE MESSI (5) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time off scratch in a handicap, finishing fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 480m (29.96). Tackles another handicap here and will jump off 2m. Hard to beat if anywhere near his best. TEXAS BONNIE (4) followed a fifth breaking from 4m in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fourth last start, beaten 7 lengths, in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.79). Returns to a handicap here and will start off 5m. Hard to beat if near her best. NGUMOHAAA (3) missed the placings two starts back at this track then scored at his latest appearance by a head in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.90). Tackles a handicap here and jumps with a 8m advantage. In winning form and sure to run well again.
