NIGEL DEVERE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (29.94) last time in a Mix 3/4 at Sandown. Solid record here winning two races. Better than last start and worth following up. HURRICANE BERT (5) was an effortless winner two back scoring by 1.5 lengths then well held latest finishing a 9 length 7th at this track (35.31). Has ability and can measure up. HANDSOME RATIO (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.06) from Box 4 at this track. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. BOUNDING CHIEF (7) is not to be discarded.
