CASUAL ESCAPE (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and five minors from 15 tries. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (19.57) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. SHORTY BOY (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from eight tries. In the money last time at this track (19.65) in a NG, finishing a 2 length second. Suited here and expected to run well. JOCK (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5 lengths into third (19.83) at this track in a NG over 340m. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Expecting another good run. WALK THE TALK (3) put a gap on his rivals last start. Hard to beat again.

Comments

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 1.5 lengths win at this track over 340m in 19.57. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 340m at this track. That followed a win two back in 19.63 beating My Machine over 340m at this track. Minor place prospects only.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.00) in a NG, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including four wins. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length second at this track but did record a respectable 19.65 over the 340m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
