RITA PAIGE (4) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (22.43) at Shepparton the start prior. Can atone. TWO TRUTHS (3) finished third (22.91) two back at Shepparton but out of the placings last time when 8th there. The form out of last race has been strong. Great chance to atone. BYE PICKLES (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Ripped Paige (22.90) in a Maiden. Was in the money prior to that. Has ability and is one of the better chances. LOVE YOU (7) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (23.85) at Horsham in a Maiden.

Stepping out over 425m for the first time. Out of the placings in recent runs, most recently when eighth over 350m at Healesville. Not a prolific placegetter and is likely to struggle.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 5th on January 12 over 390m at Shepparton behind Ripped Paige beaten 12 lengths (22.90) in a Maiden. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Failed to finish the race over 425m at this track last start. Prior to that was beaten 8 lengths over 425m at this track in a Maiden. Likely to find this a bit tough.
