GUS AND GLORY (1) has a strong record this track and trip with 12 wins and four placings from 19 starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (17.95) in a NG over 320m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. SUMMER DREAM (7) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2.75 lengths into second (18.15) at this track in a NG over 320m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Bold showing expected. SAMMY MY BOY (4) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 320m at this track in an enormous 18.15. Expected to feature again. GO GO SPIRIT (8) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.75 lengths over 320m at this track in a handy 17.95, beating Summer Dream. Well suited by the draw. Has run hot time here with a 17.95 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, clocking a solid 18.21 over the 320m trip. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Free For All on February 25 over 320m at this track behind Near Impossible beaten 3.5 lengths (18.44). Needs to find a bit more.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 320m in 18.15 last start, beating Shot Of Faith. Looks a solid contender.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a NG at Nowra and recording a quick 20.75 over the 365m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.
