QUEST FOR PACE (3) goes very well this trip starting 21 times for eight wins and four minors. Placed last time (24.30) at this track in a Mix 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Rates a leading player. RUXTON FLAME (1) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when second (23.81) at this track in a Grade 3/4. Well placed here and can atone this time. CUSTODY (7) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (24.31) in a Mix 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can find the frame this time. SPRING TRAVIS (6) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Was out of placings last time (24.06) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Has two successes and seven minors from 13 starts from box 1. Makes strong appeal.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 407m at this track. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (23.97) over 407m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.
