SHIELAS WELL (1) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by a head over 2000m at Ripon. Leading hope again. CANDLE OF TIME (10) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 1570m at Carlisle. Among the leading chances. LIVE EACH DAY (3) started at $3.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 14 lengths at Windsor over 2000m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. OPTIMATUM (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 15/04/2025, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather. Among the better hopes.
