GARTCLOSS TAM (1) goes very well here starting 14 times for five wins and five minors. Placed last time (27.74) at this track in an A1, finishing second and beaten one length. Expected to go close. SURPRISE BLUE (3) could not have been more impressive last start in his an outstanding 27.23 win at this track over 450m. Should be in this for a long way. PUNCH A HOLE (4) is a last start A1 winner, jumping from this trap and scoring a one length win over 450m at this track. Goes very well from this same draw winning two races. Harder here but expected to feature again. HAZELHILL PERCY (5) cannot be underestimated.
