DISTANT BARBIE (3) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 261m at this track in a strong 15.89. Has the ability and expected to go close again. LONGRANGE RAPID (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in a D2 at this track over 261m (16.45). Well placed and expected to be in the finish again. BEECHILL BUCKO (5) is better than last start when sixth (29.56) in an A6 at this track over 450m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Should be about the mark. WALK ON BUDDY (6) placed last time and is worth some thought.
