SARAHS HOPE (4) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.56). Back in grade and on best form is well worth another chance. BAWN WHISPER (3) was prominent early from trap 4 and did a fair job to be beaten 0.8 lengths into second (27.88) at this track in an A6 over 450m. Must be included in calculations. MAES STAR (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (28.25) last time in an A6 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Key player if finds best. FLYING BOCKO (5) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
