MY BOY CHRIS (3) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in 12th over 7f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LEADING MAN (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth in a 6f32yards contest at Albany a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLAZING PASSION (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TOTAL LOCKDOWN (2) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into seventh over 5½f at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
