Prize Money: $2,655

QUEEN ERA (7) is looking to continue her winning ways off a convincing 22.68 success at this track. Should be in this for a long way. ZIPPING MARQUEZ (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from seven tries. Missed the frame latest (29.96) when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SCREAMING VIOLET (2) goes very well here starting 25 times for nine wins and six minors. Was out of placings last time (29.87) at Gosford in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 14 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. ASCEND FERN (4) cannot be ruled out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (29.87) in a NG, finishing a 14 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Missed the frame last time when fifth (30.24) at this track. Prior to that had been racing well. Boxed awkwardly and will need the breaks to go his way.

Latest effort finished 5th in a NG on January 1 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Taormina beaten 4 lengths (29.96). Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 401m (22.68) beating Good Odds Turbo in NG on January 9. Can make it back to back wins.

Won two starts back at The Gardens over 400m in 22.83. Followed that up with a minor placing over 401m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
