MUSTANG POPPY (4) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, a nose from Cahirard Blue (28.31) at this track. One of the leading chances. NEON VIEW (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (41.12) at this track behind Russmur Josh in a HCP. Has the pace to be prominent. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must be included in calculations. FINNERY JULIE (2) has struggling of late. Finished fifth two starts back at this track then when off 9m in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 450m (28.51). Will break 11m from scratch. Hard to beat if near her best. AUTUMN CHARLOTTE (3) racing well in handicaps. In the money at this track two back then finished runner-up at her latest appearance when starting off 10m from the scratch dog at this track over 450m (27.87). Jumps with a 10m advantage. Watch for another solid run.
