JACOBS CHARM (3) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (16.53), beaten 2.5 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has ability and can bounce back. GEORGES CHARM (2) finds it hard to win. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (16.46) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Leading chance. ARDNASOOL NORTH (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 16.40 beating Fugazi. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. One of the prime contenders. FREEDOM LAYLA (1) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.
