EXPRESS PACK (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (22.57) but scored four back at this track (21.93). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. LUSH ICE (3) last start finished 7th on October 31 over 380m at this track behind Stormy Rose beaten 5.5 lengths (22.37) in a Mix 5. Looks suited here and can measure up. JUPITER (1) comes off an average run last start when seventh at this track over 380m behind Drink Tia (22.52) in a Mix 5. Placed at his previous run. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HIPPY (6) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (21.94) over 380m at this track. Aided by the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.57) in a Grade 4, finishing a 7 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from six starts. Leading chance.

Most recent effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on November 14 over 380m at this track behind Helianthe beaten 6 lengths (22.36). Looks a solid contender.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 380m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.
