ALEX KEEPING (8) boasts strong form at this distance having won two times from three starts. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (18.36) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. ORANA JOEL (4) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a Grade 5 in a powerful 18.85 and a new PB here. Bold showing expected again. SOUTHBROOK MERV (1) was checked in the run and safely held when seventh (19.04) in a Grade 5 over 318m at this track. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone. TRALEE RHONDA (2) is right in the mix.
