LORDOSIS (3) ran below his best last start when beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth from a wide draw over this course and distance after being solidly backed. Can bounce back this time. CHICANE (7) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time but faded right out of it to finish seventh over 6¾f at Devonport Synthetic. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. ASVA (1) finds it hard to win with two victories from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 7f21yards at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NIGHT ACTION (5) showed good speed over 7f21yards at this track on soft going but faded to finish fourth. Tricky draw but has good early speed. Alley makes it tough so prefer for the place.
