PEACEFUL WATERS (4) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 14 lengths into seventh over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Ready to find best form. JON L (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CONNECTER (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best figures can do much better. STORMIN HONGKONG (9) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. No reason he cannot salute again.
