SHARAPOVA STAR (4) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (24.17) last time at this track. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Has winning claims on her best figures. FIFTY SHORT (6) boasts a consistent overall record including 20 wins from 59 starts, but missed the frame latest when fifth (26.15) over 450m at Ballarat. Form at this distance is sound. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. SMOOTH COLLINDA (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Healesville (19.44) but scored four back at Healesville (19.17). Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. BOTH SIDES (3) has strong credentials over this journey.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 400m at Warragul. Looks one of the hopes in the race.
