Strong tempo assured from Shez Lethal and Ora Lad leading the charge. SUPER TALON (2) has been holding his form in similar fields on this track and is edging closer towards an overdue win. He is seasoned enough to cope with a wet track and can get the job done this time. SHEEZA FLING (4) did not let down as expected last start and only battled into fifth. A wet track would help her, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. SHEZ LETHAL (6) is having her third start in the area for new trainer Toni Schofield and recovered well enough to finish fourth here 18 days ago after missing the kick. Each-way claims with a better beginning. FINE AND RARE (5) has been trying to win a race for some time and is resuming from a spell. He was runner-up in a recent trial on this track and has to be respected. SEND THE MONEY (7) is another who is racing consistently and deserves a winning turn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Talon to win.
