IT'S MIKADO TIME (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.07), beaten 4.5 lengths. Won at his only start from this draw. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SHE'S PRIMED (2) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Filled a minor placings again last time when second (30.33) at The Meadows making it three placings in a row. Can feature again. GOLD CLASS COOL (7) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts back but finished second last time (30.35) at Sandown. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings six times from 10 starts. Can feature again. SALT SPECKLE (8) generally performs well over this distance.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.33) over 525m at The Meadows. Deserves a win and gets her chance.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last three starts, the latest when third (28.68) at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 525m. Last start finished 2nd on March 16 over 515m at Sandown behind Found Treasure beaten a neck (30.35) in a Grade 5. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings six times. Top chance.
