RUSSMUR JOSH (5) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten one length, last start breaking from 1m in a handicap at this track over 450m (27.74). Will start off scratch. Can return to winning form this time. MARIES HOPE (4) has been mixing her form in handicaps. Nice effort to finish second two runs back when started off 2m at this track then only managed fourth, beaten 0.6 lengths, last start when off 2m at this track over 450m (28.26). Today will break off 2m. Must be a big chance to make amends. SNOOZING CUCKOO (2) has been hot and cold of late in handicaps. In the money two back when jumping from the 7m at this track then finished fourth at her latest appearance and jumping from a 8m advantage at this track over 450m (28.21). Tackles another handicap and jumps with a 6m advantage. Right in the mix. CAHIRARD BLUE (6) must be included in calculations.
