ANGLERS ARMS (6) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including four wins. Comes off a (31.04) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Class 2 over 527m at Manukau. Rates on top and should go close. BAKER DAN (7) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by half a length (30.78) at this track. Rates a leading chance again. HOMEBUSH SIMBA (5) turned in a better effort at Ascot Park last start, finishing third behind Scoot On Over (22.87) in a Class 3. Gave a start buy found the line well late. Can feature again. MINNIE LU (3) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fourth (26.89) at Ascot Park last start. Tough draw to overcome and looks tested this line up.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 527m at Manukau in a handy 31.04 beating Brighton Wave. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at this track over 525m (30.78) beating Twisted Truth in Class 1/2 on June 27. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
