CANNY STRIKER (2) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (29.31) in an A6 over 480m at this track. Expected to go close. WHITEHILLS LOGAN (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for four wins and four minors. Hit the frame latest (29.44) when second at this track in an A4. Can feature with the right run. BRAMBLE CAT (1) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (29.52) in an A4 over 480m at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. SWIFT OMERTA (5) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A6 two back then scored by half a length in an A5 last time at this track over 480m (29.62). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Disappointed last start over 480m at this track when beaten 13 len (30.71) behind Romeo Mig on July 7. Would be better placed in something easier.
