MILITANT STORM (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 425m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. RED SHIRAZ (3) recorded his best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 0.8 lengths second behind Black Compass in 24.29. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. WICKET MAIDEN (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (24.79) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Great chance to atone.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on June 26 over 425m at this track behind Thai Mogwai beaten 5 lengths (24.79). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 24.25 with a nose win at this track over 425m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (24.29) at this track over 425m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 450m at Ballarat in a handy (25.72), beating Roxy Crumpet. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 10 lengths at Shepparton. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks tested and others preferred this time.
