OPPOSITE OPINION (2) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently. WATSONS AVENUE (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (29.78) at this track in an A1. Can turn it around this time. DROOPYS MAMBA (6) produced a fast 29.88 winning over 500m at this track last start in an A3. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. POCKET DARCEY (3) jumped cleanly and went straight to the lead, holding on for a place when second (30.46) at this track in an A2 over 500m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Winning chance.

Disappointed last start over 500m at this track when beaten 6 len (31.01) behind Fire Snow on January 31. Likely to find this a bit tough.
