GEMMAS HOPE (5) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing third (28.40) at this track. Leading chance again. MILLROAD MAX (6) resumed with a plain effort to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, in an A6 at this track over 450m (28.12). Suited this easier class and looks a leading player on best. REGENT CURIOUS (2) jumped from the same trap last time when a 0.8 lengths second (27.96) at this track over 450m. Worth another try. FINNERY JULIE (1) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.
