SLIPPY CHRIS (2) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten half a length (29.80) behind Avenue Mikey at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Sure to be about the mark. TIMTAM (4) is rarely out of the finish, recording 10 places from 21 starts. Finished second (29.59) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record here winning two races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature. BALLINABOLA TOM (1) box seated off the lead and kept coming to win (29.39) at this track in A5 over 480m. Has definite claims. ABBEY VIOLET (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage fifth (29.91) at this track.
