SMALL BOSS (3) missed the frame last time when fourth (17.20) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Looks the one to beat on his best form. COURTY IVY (2) missed the frame last time out when sixth at this track from Box three (17.56) but draws same box here as latest win. Better than last start and can bounce back. NATURAL WORLD (4) followed a D3 win two back with a fifth, beaten 2 lengths, in a D3 at this track over 285m (17.28) last time. This easier and gets chance to atone. JACKTAVERN SMASH (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 285m at this track (17.29) in a D4, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Well beaten when resuming over 285m at this track, finishing sixth (17.56) and beaten 10 lengths. Yet to win but has placed once from two second-up runs. Expected to improve sharply.

Last start finished 4th in a D4 on March 1 over 285m at this track behind Taylors Melody beaten 6 lengths (17.20). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a D4 by 4 len at this track over 285m (16.98). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
