HARLEQUIN MANILA (2) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing fourth (29.14) at this track latest. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. AFFECTIONATLY (1) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 1.75 lengths (28.91) at this track in an A7 over 462m. Racing well and deserves a win. FASTNET FREEZE (5) settled well back early on debut and but the line nicely when third (28.99) at this track over 462m. Can improve further this time. WACHOVIA BOWLER (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
