MY BOY CHRIS (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4 lengths away in 12th over 7f at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LEADING MAN (1) finished fifth last start over 6f32yards at Albany after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. BLAZING PASSION (5) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 5½f at this track, an improvement on her fifth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TOTAL LOCKDOWN (2) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into seventh over 5½f at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
