BLUE OPAL (2) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (23.05) at this track. Worth another chance. LOVE OVER GOLD (7) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from the winner Royal Bandit in second(22.91) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Bold showing expected. CORLESS A REBEL (8) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten 5 lengths at this track (23.33). Expected to feature. SLEEK APOLLO (5) generally performs well here at this distance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2 length third over 401m at this track, clocking 23.33. Capable of a good showing.
