NAVARRE RIVER (3) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. COAL RIVER (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 6¾f at Devonport Synthetic as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six runs. Can measure up again. THE TRINE (5) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to come on when fourth over 7f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GLOBAL AWARENESS (7) finished second last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the final stages. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and six minor placings from eight starts. Capable of taking the next step.
