In the small field Flying Rani or Just One Look should find the front. OCEANS ONE (2) is a short course star who looks a run away from winning again. Has a positive draw and handles all conditions. ZARAGOZA (3) returned to form at this track last start and her record here is sharp. From the pole draw must be included. FLYING RANI (5) gets the jump and run draw to suit her style and is proven fresh. After two recent trials is all set and ready. MR ROCK IT (1) loves this trip and just needs some luck in running to play a part. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oceans One win. Box quinella 2,3,1.
