SLIPPY SHANE (1) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last five runs. Last time finished 3rd in a HCP on May 14 over 500m at this track behind Diamond Santa beaten 2.5 lengths (29.98). Must come into calculations. AVONGATE MAXIMUS (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (16.67) at this track. Bold showing expected. BLAKE DELIGHT (5) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 500m behind Battstreet Rebel (30.46) in an A5. Placed at his previous run. Has ability and can atone. CATUNDA SNIPER (6) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.
