VICTORY CLUB (1) was checked in the run and safely held when fourth (23.72) in a Grade 2/3/4 over 395m at Murray Bridge. Key player on best form. WIRRULLA MELVY (2) was out of placings last time (23.54) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Has five wins already from this draw. Can feature in the finish. MELLOW MEAD (8) was in winning form two back (23.19) at this track but ran below best last time at Angle Park, finishing 6th. Has a good record here at this journey. Should be in this for a long way. PRIME OF LIFE (6) cannot be left out after placing at a big quote last start.

Missed the frame latest (23.54) when fifth over 400m at this track in a Free For All. Goes very well off the draw boasting five wins and three places from 12 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Placed last time (22.91) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has one success and four minors from eight starts from box 6. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 23.19, beating Jilliby Joan. Last start finished last on April 26 over 342m at Angle Park behind Stealth beaten 1.75 lengths (19.94) in a Other. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
