BEFORE THE DAWN (7) scored by 1.5 lengths last time (30.03) in a Grade 4/5 over 520m at this track. Has already won four times from this draw. Expected to go close. SPRING WITNESS (2) turned in a big run last time despite being beaten, finishing second in a Grade 5 behind Ballyneale Bolt in an exceptional 29.70 and clocking a new PB. Strong run latest and looks a key chance on that form. ROBERT KEEPING (4) resumed in a NG at Bulli and finished fifth over 472m (26.29). Has a strong record here including eight wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner on best form. CANYA NOT (3) has to be respected despite coming off a five-and-a-half weeks break.

Did a good job two starts back at Richmond to win by 0.8 lengths in 29.64, beating Take A Break. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on February 11 over 520m at Richmond behind Ascend Fern beaten 7 lengths (29.99). Happy to risk this time.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 520m at this track clocking 29.70. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a one length second over 400m Maitland in 22.68. In form and another win would not surprise.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 5th in a NG on February 6 over 472m at Bulli behind Eriza Sparkles beaten 7 lengths (26.29). The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at The Gardens (22.90) beating Inner West in a Grade 5 on January 10. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
