RAPTURE BAY (10) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic), finishing third and beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. IRON MAN JIMMY (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. BLAZE OF COLOR (5) has been freshened up since he finished seventh over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) seven weeks ago. Well placed to atone. CARLIN CLAN (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
