BLACKHOUSEWALTON (4) had trap 5 and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Coolavanny Ken in second (29.28) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Key chance in this line up. MAXI ON FIRE (5) had the drop on the lead from trap four before taking over turning, drawing clear to score (29.37) at this track in an A2 over 480m. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. ALNWICK HAWK (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.61) at this track behind Zenith Mikmacker in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Leading player again. ALNWICK RIVER (6) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by 5 lengths in an A3 last time at this track over 480m (29.11). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest.
