SLIM NIKITA (1) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts three wins. Hit the frame latest (29.02) when second at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited and should go close. BOGIE FRANK (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 498m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Can measure up. BAR ONE SMOKERS (2) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at this track over 498m behind Hopefully Fast (29.09) in a OPEN. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner on best form. PHOENIX SILVER (3) is in form and must include among the chances.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 498m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on November 25 over 498m at this track behind Phoenix Silver beaten 2 lengths (29.02). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he recorded a handy 28.85 over 498m finishing second at this track. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

In the money last time at this track (29.17) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 7 length third. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.
