Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. HE'S FOR THE GIRLS (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Ipswich then wasn't far away there last time. Has the ability and gets chance to bounce back in what shapes up as a very winnable race. CHARMED PASSAGE (7) is overdue for a win. Placed two of last three, the latest here in a similar race when beaten in a photo. Close to a win and expected to be in the finish again. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (6) is another overdue for a win. Has placed all three runs this time in and drawn for a good run. Gets chance. ELECTRIC ARROW (11) is fitter for two runs back and has the ability. Likely improver who looks hard to beat. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's For The Girls can atone.
