PAW SAPPHIRE (8) comes here following a placing in fast time (22.13) over 390m at this track when beaten 4 lengths in a Grade 5. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat.

TICK RETURNS (1) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 5 lengths from the winner (22.37). Yet to win here but has run some good races. Bold showing expected. BRAGGING RIGHTS (2) can sneak into the finish.

Placed last time (22.11) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and eight places from 15 starts. Makes appeal on best.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at this track over 390m. The start prior was at her best with a nose win over 400m at Geelong. Looks up against it this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.47. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 300m at Healesville at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, hard to tip with any confidence.
