PERRYS DOWN DUCK (11) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1f180yards, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Sure to go well. EYE OSBALDO (10) finished third last time out when resuming over 1½f at this track (Dirt), making it five career minor placings. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from four starts. Among the top chances. JET BLACK MERCEDES (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth in a 2½f contest at this track two weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHIKIBABY (3) was popular with punters last time out but failed to fire and finished seventh over 1½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks close to a win and worth including.
