FEDERAL BLAST (2) lit up the clock in 21.73 when winning a Grade 5 over 380m at this track last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. BASIL FAWLTY (1) was below best at his last start when 7th at this track following a second place finish (22.15) there two back. Worth another chance. BLUE MARINE (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.29) at this track behind Hara's Jed in a Mix 5. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Expected to be in the finish again. FLYING BLOSSOM (3) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.
