COACH KENNY (4) has been thereabouts recently, the latest result a fourth beaten 2.75 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and five placings from 13 tries. Expected to go very well. SCARLETTSBLACKJACK (6) improved last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second at the end of 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CHARLI MICHAEL (2) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 24 lengths when sixth in a 6f contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUNNINGINTHEMONEY (8) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when eighth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
