DROOPYS VERDICT (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dynamic win the start prior, getting around this track over 500m in 29.64. Looks the one to beat on win two back. JACKPOT BLUE (2) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 12 of 17 career runs. Filled a minor placings again last time when second (30.27) at this track making it three placings in a row. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and six minor placings from seven starts. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BU HAN TAG (6) shapes well after a good run last time, finishing second in an A2 at this track in 29.58. Harder here but expected to feature again. FRONT LOADED (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by half a length last start at this track over 500m (29.73). Facing tougher but in form and not to be underestimated.

Last start finished 3rd over 500m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (29.74) behind Seomra Hachi in an A2 on March 15. Has an outstanding 29.64 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this much harder. Definite contender.
