BLACK ZOUS (1) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 5f at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has good early pace. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. IN NO DOUBT (6) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. RIVER FROST (5) started this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 6f at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REAL VALENTIA (2) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before going on to record a half a length win over 5½f at this track. Worth including.
