VERY BEST BUDDY (6) was last seen getting around 340m at this track in a sharp 19.71 for a 5.5 lengths success. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. ROBIN CARGO (3) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 2.5 lengths (20.25) in a Grade 5 at this track. Winning chance. TAP OUT POPPY (2) placed last time (20.26) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten one length. Has already won out of this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. QUICK EDITION (4) won last start after racing on the pace. That form reads well.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 12 lengths at The Gardens. Form solid prior to that including a win at Taree Super Track three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (20.26) over 340m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
