POETIC STAR (6) jumped a wide draw and ran into the minors when second by 5 lengths (22.93) at Geelong in Grade 7. Has failed to finish in the placings from two starts here. Leading chance. UNDERSHOT VALMA (4) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Dot's Redeemer (22.67) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. The form from her last run stacks up well. Has ability and can measure up. GOOD ODDS MARIO (2) can sneak into the finish.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length fifth (26.40) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Sale. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
