FIREBIRD FLYER (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Sidewinder (16.94) in a Grade 5. One of the leading chances. ONE KNEE NONI (7) latest effort finished 6th in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on February 23 over 300m at this track behind Be A Beauty beaten 4 lengths (17.22). Suited here and expected to run well. BLACK FRIDAY (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 300m behind Dunsmore Flyer (17.99) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. PERFECT REVENGE (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.22) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 4 length sixth. Has seven minors from nine starts from box 7. Makes strong appeal.
