SMOOTH BLAST (1) had the drop on the pace early but forged to the lead on the bend and drew clear to score (28.80) at this track in a Grade 5/6 over 498m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can make it back-to-back wins. I'M FREE (6) is on a hot streak recording a 29.06 win over 498m at this track last start following on from a convincing 21.69 victory at this track over 380m the start prior. Flying lately and looks a key chance on that form. TOTAL FRANKY (2) is a talented type who boasts a strong winning strike-rate at this distance. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Scored latest at this track in a handy 28.76. Likely to be in the finish. TIPSY TESS (8) was well supported last time but could only manage second (29.00), beaten 2.75 lengths. Deserves a win and gets her chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (29.24) over 498m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when she won by 2.5 lengths at this track (29.06) beating Bar One Smokers in a Grade 5/6 on March 3. Looks to have an edge on most of these.
