REUBEN HILL (1) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (30.68) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows over 525m. Expected to feature again. LADY JULIA (4) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest finishing fourth (25.32) off a wide draw at Warrnambool in a Special conditions H. Form at the trip sound including 10 wins. Expected to run well. KELLY JANE (2) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Sandown but was a Grade 5 winner two back at Sale. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. NIMBLE BENNY (8) can fill a top-three spot.

Was out of placings last time (30.02) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
