ANNAS PRIDE (2) ran a good time (29.70) when second an A5 at this track after jumping from this box. Expecting another bold showing. MICKS PROSPECT (3) cannot be left out after placing last start.

Produced a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Top-three hope with the right run.

Filled a minor placing last time over 480m (29.75) at this track in an A4, beaten one length. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from 12 tries. Among the main chances.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when second (29.55) over 480m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Good effort to score last start by 4.5 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.71, beating Hey Syd. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 480m at this track in 29.77. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
