DA YOUNG LAD (5) recorded a 2.75 lengths third in an A9 last time 24.96 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Key player on best form. ROMAN CHAMP (6) has been in great recent form scoring two on end, the latest an A10 by 10 lengths at this track over 400m (24.27). Expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. HILLEND JOAN (1) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 3.5 lengths (24.74) at this track in an A9 over 400m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Likely to be in the finish again. YOUNG OREO (3) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
