RIPPER LANE (6) finished well back at this track last time when a 13 length sixth (20.28) but recorded best time of the card when winning four back. Has won two of five starts from this draw. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MICHELLE KEEPING (2) latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on March 29 over 318m at Dubbo behind Xira Bale beaten 2.25 lengths (18.51). Looks one of the chances. PARK UP (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (19.99) in a NG at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Bold showing expected. POPPY LANE (1) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Missed the frame latest (20.47) when fourth over 340m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he goes well over this track and distance with three wins from six starts. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Missed the frame latest (19.99) when fourth over 340m at this track in a NG. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Looks suited and should go close.
