BONITAS BEST BET (3) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LAURIE LEE (5) finished second last start, beaten 1.5 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so she can salute this time around. CHANCEOFLIGHTNING (1) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands. SHEZ THE REASON A (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 8 metres at Meadowlands over 1609m when fresh from a spell.

Eight-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 17 m by Nila Maree (1:54.40) in FNW17501L5 on February 13 at $14.34. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Nila Maree at this track over 1609m in a FNW15551L5 on February 6 at $54.63. Form reads okay, but out of her depth.
