BATHAMS PANTHER (4) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Finished in the minors last time when second (16.13) at this track making it back to back placings. Can go on with it. MANOR WIFE (2) turned in a solid run last start over 261m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 2.25 lengths (16.26). Can do much better this time. LOUIS HOPE (3) jumped from the same trap last time when a 3 length second (16.21) at this track over 261m. Should be in this for a long way. WALK ON BUDDY (6) was in the money last start at this track and distance - poses a threat again.
