HARA'S ROCKY (6) jumps from box 6 for the first time after placing latest at this track (25.47) in a Grade 5. Has never missed the frame here from eight starts. Top chance in this line up. ZIPPING HOLLY (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 25.17 beating Touch Of Glass. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. One of main contenders. MYTHIC (1) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Comes off a (19.83) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 340m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. CASUAL ESCAPE (5) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 431m in 25.13 last start, beating Armatree Judo. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
