HECTOR (2) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STRAIGHTOUTADUTTON (8) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a third at this track (Synthetic) two starts back then landed the prize by a nose last time out over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. COLONEL POPPY (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth over 6f at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MIDNIGHT AMBITION (6) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
