DEAR CARLA LOU (8) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. Placed last time (22.28) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. MARSHALL BEAR (4) finished fourth last time at Warrnambool but could not have been more impressive before that in his superb 25.26 win at Warrnambool over 450m. Has the ability and can find winning form again. PAW QUARK (2) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from six starts. Recorded a 4 length win (22.31) in a Grade 4 last time at Geelong. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. ROCK IT QUEEN (1) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 390m at Shepparton in a handy (22.37), beating Ripper Riley. Will find this a bit tougher, other runners look much more appealing.
