LEX LUTHER (2) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths (28.05) behind Bawn Dawn at this track. Must come into calculations. CHARLOTTES HOPE (6) followed a win at this track two runs ago with a modest sixth, beaten 53 lengths, last start in a OR at this track over 450m (31.16). Returns to a handicap here and will jump off scratch. Usually a reliable handicapper who has recorded four wins in eight runs from the staggered starts. Overall a talented handicapper who has four wins and three placings from eight runs from the staggered start. Must be a big chance to make amends. PLACEINMYHEART (5) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start off scratch in a handicap at this track over 450m (28.17). Will jump off scratch. Capable handicapper who has five wins and seven placings from 17 runs from the staggered start. No surprise to see her back in form. MUSTANG POPPY (4) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - should be thereabouts.
