ANCONA (1) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and four placings from six starts. Hit the frame latest (23.14) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Looks a leading chance on best. RUTH'S COMMANDER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 460m behind Koda (27.13) in a T3 RSTW. One of the better hopes. ASTON PRESTON (8) was a last-start winner from the rails at this track and distance (23.38) after charging straight to the lead, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat again here. NALA'S MANTIS (5) can find the frame without surprising.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.14 over 400m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.
