Ckh Painting Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $2,925

SCOTT SIGMA (1) finished 2.25 lengths away in second last start over 390m at this track but in a useful 22.02. Hard to top on the time from last start. NANCY DEVERE (5) was a last start winner (23.78) from Box 5 at Bendigo. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Expected to measure up again. WEST TWO AFFAIR (2) has been out of the placings at her last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (17.30) in a Grade 5 H at Healesville. Can improve sharply here.

Won two starts back over 390m at Warrnambool. Last start she finished 2nd on February 9 over 390m at this track behind Living beaten 2.25 lengths (22.02) in a Grade 4/5. Draw likely to suit. Has a superb 21.96 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Latest effort finished 5th on February 2 over 450m at this track behind Smaller Acts beaten 7 lengths (26.10) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy (25.57), beating Ascend Hibiscus. Will find this a bit tougher, tempted to look elsewhere.

Backs up after winning by 0.6 lengths at this track (25.44) beating Alfredo in a Grade 5 on February 9 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Won two starts back won at this course over 390m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when she finished 2nd on February 5 over 390m at this track behind Dim Sim Rixi beaten 0.8 lengths (22.49) in a Grade 5. Not among the main chances this time.
