BRINTON (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1740m at Wolverhampton. Has the talent to take this out. VENUS SLIPPER (11) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a major player again. DANEHILL STAR (4) finished third over 1740m at Wolverhampton last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should settle handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. LAURENTIA (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Chelmsford after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
