TRY CATCHING ME (9) deserved her breakthrough win at this venue last week, racing parked before proving too good by 3m. Prior to that she had kicked off her campaign with three seconds, missing by just a head when off this row two back. Could go through her grades now. SLICK AND SUAVE (2) has had tougher draws at his last couple and was far from disgraced when midfield last week at Newcastle. Came from this barrier to miss narrowly at Newcastle last month. Can play a major role. BULL SHARK (6) galloped out last start but still managed a 3m second at this venue, his second minor placing from the last three outings. Came from this barrier for third at Newcastle last month. Player with manners. CINNAMON (8) is race fit now and can measure up if she shows the form that saw her clock in second from this barrier when resuming.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 16 m by Babling Babling (1:56.30) in MAIDEN on February 27 at $81. The run before 7th (Sr1) over 1980m at this track, at the bell was 7th-8.78 beaten 8 m by Spooky Art (2:28.90) in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $18. Draws well and this looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle was leading by 0.83 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Ronnys Watching (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 23 at $16. Before that, 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 60 m by Wanted Poster (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $9. Should be at peak fitness now and can improve from a nice draw.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Spooky Art at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on February 19 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Try Catching Me at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 26 at $6.50. Draws wider but is among the chances.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:00.50) beating Bull Shark in 0-1 WIN on February 26 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 0.93. Tricky draw but with even luck she can go on with it.
