RATHORPE ASH (6) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Likely to improve sharply this time. MANHATTAN (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 5.5 lengths away in sixth (30.28). Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on best form. MIDIAN SYD (4) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 8 length third (30.20) at this track in A6. Expected to be in the finish again. TEEVEE COCO (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.
