NEWTOWN MINNIE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.85) in an A7 at this track over 480m. Won at her only start from this box. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. AFFANE BLOSSOM (4) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Dower Queen (31.04) in an A7. The form out of her last race has been franked. Leading chance. SLANEYSIDE WEST (3) did a good job to finish second last time out over 480m at this track (30.23) in an A7, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can improve sharply here. KNOCKGLASS ARIEL (2) has a solid top-three strike but her maiden win eludes.
