RHYTHMIC TADPOLE (5) hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4 length second over 476m at this track, clocking 29.85. Can go on with it. BARNFIELD CREST (1) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd over 476m at this track beaten 5 lengths (29.56) behind Riverside Chilli in an A7 on December 6. Well-placed to take this out. SPRINGWOOD KANE (4) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 476m behind Ballyclearyflash (30.24) in an A7. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. METRIC BUSTER (3) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 476m (29.81). Can bounce back this company.
