Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (25.34) over 431m at Gunnedah. Has a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Last start finished 2nd over 520m at Richmond beaten 8 lengths (30.10) behind Zipping Jamal in a Grade 5 on August 26. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 17 length eighth over 520m at Wentworth Park. Happy to risk in this.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 431m at Gunnedah. Not keen this time.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, major threat on best form.
