FREEDOM SESSION (5) jumped from this trap and scrambled home to a narrow A5 win at this track over 480m latest (29.41). In form and rates on top again. RIDGEDALE ZUNI (4) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten 0.8 lengths (29.30). Comes through a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. DISTANT GRACE (6) ran below best last time finishing fourth (29.69) over 480m at this track in an A5. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. MERCIA BRIDA (1) has ability and can find the frame.

Returned from a break last start with a fifth (16.80) over 270m at this track in a D3. Will strip fitter but looks up against it in this line-up.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A5 by head at this track over 480m (29.41). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
