BEAR ESSENTIAL (5) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a second then scored by half a length in an A10 last time at this track over 400m (24.63). In winning form and looks the one to beat again. HOLLYWOOD ATHENA (3) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 0.6 lengths fourth (24.84) over 400m at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to be thereabouts. DONEGAL CIAN (6) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 400m (30.23). This easier so not to be underestimated. HOLDING POLLY (1) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.
