ZARI BETTINA (4) is overdue for a maiden success having placed at eight of 16 starts and finishing in the money again at Ballarat. Ran a quick 22.33 last time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Makes plenty of appeal. BITTY BUT (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (25.89) in a Maiden at Ballarat. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Has ability and can measure up. FLYING NARDO (6) shows ability but remains a maiden after eight starts. Is better than last start when out of the placings, finishing sixth (24.87) at Bendigo. A big run wouldn't surprise. GUARDIAN (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Hit the frame again last time when second (24.78) at Bendigo, making it three minor placings in a row. Drawn close to the inside. Deserves respect.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at Ballarat clocking 22.33. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Lines up from box 6 for the first time after finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth at Bendigo (24.87) in a Maiden. Looks one of the chances.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 390m at Warrnambool. Will need to improve to feature.
