Third of 16 over C&D last Wednesday and this in-form 4yo holds solid claims
7 (7)	Ventura Flame Bay J:Joe Fanning T:Keith Dalgleish	J:Joe Fanning T:Keith Dalgleish	129	—	9598-2	74	98	88	8d	—	—	-2	16.2	7/2 22%
Won this two years ago and second of 16 over C&D on reappearance; key player

Improved form over 7f on AW last December; remains to be seen whether 5f will suit

Reappeared with very close third on AW and this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer
5 (5)	Le Beau Garcon Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	133	—	7508-0	78	93	77	19d	—	—	0	9.7	17/2 11%
Market check advised on second start of the year but has to leave comeback run well behind
3 (6)	May Blossom Bay J:Mark Winn(5) T:David Omeara	J:Mark Winn(5) T:David Omeara	135	—	73515-	80	91	80	185d	—	—	+10	17.5	12 8%

Below last winning mark and the return to turf could help, but has something to prove
6 (8)	Soul Seeker Bay J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	129	t	2960-5	74	98	89	22d	—	—	+3	7.1	22 5%
AW may not be his thing; could play leading role off reduced mark now back on grass
