STATSMAN (6) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 8 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 450m (28.51). Will find this easier and looks tough to beat on best. HOLLYHILL LAYLA (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 450m behind Dairyland Maeve (28.38) in an A6. Placed at her previous run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. AUTUMN MEADOW (5) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (28.14) at this track. A big run wouldn’t surprise. ROBEEN RIO (2) is a newcomer from the E Y Bell kennel. Can run a bold race on debut.
