PRIVATE EXPRESS (1) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 3.5 lengths away in fourth (29.90). Was in the money the start prior. Rates on top in this line up. DROOPYS TURF (3) failed to come into contention last start after losing his position early at this track, but prior to that won by a nose at this track (29.77) beating Swift Table in an A8 on September 26. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. In the mix. ALNWICK BARNEY (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.83) last time in an A6 at this track. Key player if finds best. MCDARA JULIE (2) was a surprise last-start placegetter with solid claims again.
