WAR ZONE (2) registered a strong win at Chelmsford two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fourth over 1000m at Chelmsford, beaten 1.75 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. STROXX (1) improved last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at Newcastle All Weather after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. SECOND COLLECTION (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at this track after being in contention all the way. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration. STARSHOT (7) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1000m at Chelmsford. Worth plenty of thought.
