SPLISH SPLASH (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 5½f at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. AUGUSTA MOON (1) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 3.5 lengths win over 5½f at this track to make it two on the bounce. Has a strong association with Paul Denton who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Bold showing expected. FLORAL CODE (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 5½f at this track six days ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. DEPENDENCY (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 7f. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
