RISING FIRE (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 19 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 6f at this track, beaten a nose. Likely contender with strong prospects. THE STIFMEISTER (2) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose over 6f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. NO RAIN NO FLOWERS (5) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 18 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. PROKLISI (6) finished third last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Nicely placed to run well again.
