JOANNES HOPE (3) last start finished 2nd on December 3 over 450m at this track behind Helicopter Lotty beaten 2.5 lengths (28.11) in an A3. Looks a leading chance and expected to go close. LUMINOUS POINT (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (28.64) in an A3 at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. EMERS PANDORA (5) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 4 lengths at this track (28.63). Key runner on best form. GERONIMOS GHOST (6) is worth consideration.
