IRISH HEATWAVE (5) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1m at this track (Turf) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, looks a top winning chance. INESPERADO (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1m, beaten one length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Has a fine record here with three wins from seven starts. Likely to feature. JOHNNY DAR (7) is resuming from a break of six-and-a-half months for a new stable after finishing seventh over 1m at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) at his latest outing. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including two minor placings from three starts. Leading prospect. JOKER MATT (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
