CALLA AXEL (2) goes very well here starting 19 times for eight wins and seven minors. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (22.85) in a Grade 4/5 over 401m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. ENERGY WAVE (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 22.79 beating Unleash Shirley. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Can make it back-to-back wins. SAMMY MY BOY (6) was below best last time when fifth at this track but prior to that among the placings in quick time (22.98) at this track. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a tricky draw. Can improve sharply here. ZIPPING ALI (3) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.
