BILL NEEDLE (3) was safely held when fourth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can return to winning ways. RIVER OF BABYLON (1) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 6f at this track in a disappointing performance. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SERENADE AT SEA (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 6½f at this track after he got a long way back. Cherry-ripe now and will be tough to beat. STREET SERENADE (4) finished fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has a solid record here including two wins and three minor placings from six outings. Should run very well.
