SCUD (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten one length, over 5f at this track when coming back from a break. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. BOOM COURT (3) is fresh from a lay-off of 13 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Ipswich over 6f. In a different yard now. Placed in a recent trial. Solid chance when resuming for the new barn. DUNTROON LASS (14) strode forward early from her wide draw when resuming last start over 5½f at Warwick then fought on gamely to finish second. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. EXTESSIVE (10) was beaten 3 lengths into ninth over 6¾f at Doomben two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
