JOANNES HOPE (4) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second beaten 4.5 lengths (28.00). One of the contenders. EMERS NODDY (1) filled the minor money four on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at Star Pelaw over 435m (26.60). Sure to be thereabouts. RAHA SPARK (2) has been freshened since finishing well back on debut at Galway over 480m (30.84). Expecting significant improvement this line-up. MOULTON DOLL (5) followed a moderate fourth first up with a win by 1.75 lengths last start at this track over 450m (27.96). This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again.
