Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Yet to win but has been in the placings two times from this draw. Worth thought.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at Sandown clocking 29.80. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when eighth (30.67) at Sandown. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a solid 25.40 over 450m finishing second at Shepparton. Warrants respect on latest.

Was among the placegetters latest at Bendigo when a 6 length second but did clock a hot 28.11 for the 500m trip. Expecting another bold showing.
