A LONG WINTERS NAP (5) fought on for third last start over 6½f at this track (Synthetic), making it three minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. STRIFE (4) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1/2f at Belterra Park. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Should be hard to stop. POINT TO THAT STAR (9) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Monmouth Park. One to consider. MOTHER VOLGA (8) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when eighth at this track (Synthetic) over 6½f, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed here and has to be respected.
