Only a small field with Hit Snooze likely to find a comfortable lead.
BUBBLES'N'FROTH (3) got the maiden out of the way when resuming before maybe suffering from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out. Winning hoop Stanley sticks in the irons and a return to form would not surprise. TURN BIRD (1) has strung two wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence now. Can bring up the hat-trick here. KIDSTON (2) is yet to miss a drum in three attempts over this track and trip and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three credentials. HIT SNOOZE (7) is a two-time winner around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. In the mix. BRAVE INTENT (5) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 3,1,2.
