Small field but a good tempo is expected with Stella Bystarlight, Hellivit and Mods pressing on. MODS (4) has had three runs for the new yard and placed last two. Runner-up latest over 1200m and on the quick back-up. Bursting to win and gets chance. STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (2) is an honest type resuming. Has started 10 time this circuit for two wins and seven minors and the only unplaced run was a fourth. Speed galloper well placed with the claim and will take catching. HELLIVIT (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3.5 lengths win over 1100m at this track. Goes very well here and off the inside will take catching again. BON'S A LAD (3) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1100m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Won maiden the start prior. Has the claim and a low draw and looks set to run well again. BAD MAN (5) goes well fresh and is among the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Mods.
