MICKY (10) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1000m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Nicely placed to bounce back. SEVERUS SNAPE (6) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 2.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. DUQUE DE KENT (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. HIPATIA (2) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1100m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
