HOT RIO NIGHTS (1) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at Ipswich following on from a win (17.23) there the start prior. Key runner on his best form. CHICKS A THIEF (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Taree Super Track over 300m behind Mum Said Albert (17.98) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Comes through a solid form race last start. Cannot be taken lightly. MIDNIGHT MAMBO (7) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (19.93) at this track in a Grade 5 over 336m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Must be included in calculations. RITZA SHAME (2) has claims fresh from a recent placing at big odds.

Comments

Ordinary effort last start when she got back too far over 300m at Taree Super Track. Prior to that won by a nose at this track (19.61) beating Nana Mania in a Grade 5 on November 23. Looks a strong winning hope.
