THE SLAP (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is sure to prove hard to beat. STOUT (6) is still a maiden after nine starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) following a minor placing at this track (Synthetic) over 6f the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. L L L COOL (2) has Alejandro Gomez going aboard after he was well held last time out in seventh over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Nicely placed to turn things around. LAURA'S KIDOUGH (8) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.2 lengths away in fourth over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
