HARLEY HITCH (6) filled the placings yet again last time when second (24.53) in an A7, making it six straight minors on end. Heading in right direction and well placed here. Hard to beat. Back in class and gets chance to fire. JET VELOCITY (3) shapes well after a quick run last time, finishing second in an A8 at this track in 24.14. Bold showing expected again. JEOPARDY NEPTUNE (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (24.92), beaten 3 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SPARKLING KATIE (1) missed the frame two runs back then won at her latest appearance by 1.5 lengths at this track over 400m (24.71). Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault.

Burnt early with a scorching sectional but had to settle for third over 400m at this track, clocking 24.89. Others preferred on this occasion.

Finished second last start over 400m at this track behind Lockyer Hatter in an A8. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth this track in 24.92. Has claims on best form.
