ROWINGTON RAVEN (1) jumps from the inside trap. Last start finished 2nd on November 4 over 500m at this track behind Fortanach Jim beaten 4 lengths (30.59) in a HCP. Looks a leading chance and expected to go close. RYDER RIPPLE (2) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 1.5 lengths winner of a D4 at this track over 305m (18.10). Up a grade but in winning form and must be a big chance again. WESTFIELD BLEU (5) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 2.5 lengths at this track over 305m (18.41). Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault. ROUND THE BEND (6) looks an each-way chance.
