DIVORCE SOURCE (1) finished seventh last time (25.80) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. Looks the one to beat on his best form. LOCAL LEGEND (4) boasts a consistent overall record including eight wins from 30 starts, but missed the frame latest when fifth (25.40) over 450m at this track. Looks suited and expected to run well. KIA MCGRAW (8) clocked a handy 25.40 when winning over 450m at this track last start. Has the ability and can measure up again. FIRE ME UP (7) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Latest effort finished 5th in a NG on April 20 over 450m at this track behind Verdi beaten 7 lengths (25.40). Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished 4th over 457m at Q Lakeside beaten 3 lengths (25.86) behind Pretty Boy Milo in a Grade 5 on April 21. Placed two back at Maitland. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
