MELLCAT JESS (2) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from 10 starts. Comes off a (19.58) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. ZIPPING CRUISE (1) is better than last start when fourth (30.27) from Box 3 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. One of the better hopes. DESPICABLE GOAT (7) saluted last start after racing on the speed. Right in the mix.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 5 length third but did run a decent 19.90 over the 350m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.
