ASTON MONARCHY (5) held a forward position from the pinch but began to paddle on the bend and drifted out of the finish when 5th at this track in Grade 5 company. Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and looks hard to stop. JAMES'S ENTITY (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.32 beating Roscoe Bale. Expecting another bold showing. HOW AWESOME (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing eighth (23.33) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has never been out of the money in five starts this course. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Has ability and can atone. JADED SMILE (1) placed last time (22.75) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has already won out of this draw.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she clocked a solid 16.79 over 300m finishing third at Healesville. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Comes off a (22.32) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
