    Race Analysis

    BETTER BE DEFINITE (4) scored with authority by 13L two starts back at Ayr tackling rain-softened conditions. Never in the hunt following up last week and turned out quickly with useful claiming jockey enlisted will head the shortlist. ANOTHER HIGH FIVE (3) is progressing nicely. Produced a fine run to finish second beaten 2. 5L making handicap debut last start. Appears the danger. COLONIAL EMPIRE (2) perhaps failed to stay in latest. Still on a workable rating and is in the mix. SHOESHINE BOY (1) maintains good order registering two recent victories at Ayr. Not quite so well off at the weights now however can be considered.
