COOLAVANNY KEN (6) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, finishing out of the frame two back but did wind up strongly to place when third (28.86) in an A1 at this track. Good form should continue. OPERA BOY (4) won by 7 lengths last start when getting around this track 480m in a lightning 28.31. Has the ability and looks a key chance. ZENITH MAGIC (5) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (29.09) at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. ALNWICK HARRY (3) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a head winner of an A2 at this track over 480m (28.77). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight.

Good effort to score last start by a head over 480m at this track in 28.77, beating Droopys Blondie. Should be around the mark.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Jackos Bono in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 28.45. Top chance.
