ELECTRIC EEL (5) settled well back when 10 lengths from the winner in ninth over 7f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. HATCH (6) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly in this line up. Gets his chance. BEACH COWBOY (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 7f at this track (Dirt). Drawn to stalk the leaders. Has the class to play a significant role. WOODLINE (9) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 6 lengths back in third over 6f at this track (Dirt). This is an easier assignment and can take this out.
