HOT GOBLIN (6) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.75 lengths into third over 6f at this track (Synthetic) when he was handy all the way. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. STEVE'S BIG TICKET (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when fifth in a 1m contest at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. UPLIFT (8) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt) on April 5. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. SLEWSCION (9) was solid on debut last start when beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track (Synthetic) on March 29. Should be competitive.
