BENEATH THE CLOUDS (11) Good win by 2 1/2L last time at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Goes down in weight. This field suits. STRAWBERRY THIEF (4) Winner by 1 1/2L last time at this track but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. James Crawford stable are on fire recently. Might be ridden for luck. Respect against this field. LAVENDER BAY (6) Ran 2nd last run around here. Racing for a new trainer. Likely to be well placed early. Goes close. TAP SHOES (5) Ran 4th last run at the track. Does take a while to get into stride. Could work into the placings.
