Prize Money: $8,000

TICTOK (8) is going well having come from this row to finish top-three in her last three outings. Scored a strong win two back at this circuit and distance before a second last time at Maryborough. Major player again. COUNTESS CHIRON (4) was fourth to the top pick here two back then turned the tables on her when scoring a 2.5m win last time. Draws the same barrier so could do it again. ALDEBARAN DEMI (7) produced a better effort last time out when third at Melton. Goes well when third-up so can progress further. THIRD EYE (3) is a two-time winner here and draw to play a role.

In good form recently. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Maryborough (2:04.20) beating Tictok in NR 50 to 55 on December 4 at $4.20 at the bell was 2nd-4. Could prove hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Nakedtruth at this track over 1650m in a NR 54 to 65 on November 27 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Thunda Struck at Melton over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on December 7 at $26. May be ready to peak.
