FROMELLES POPPY (8) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.09) over 515m at Sandown in a Maiden FIN. The form from her last run stacks up well. Can discover winning form. VICTORY ALBERT (4) turned in a solid run last start over 525m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (30.59). One of the better hopes. HIGH FIVE INDI (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (25.88) in a Mix 6/7 at Shepparton. Better than last start and can bounce back. ZARI BETTINA (1) is worth a look despite no experience at this trip.

Latest effort finished 4th on February 25 over 525m at this track behind Unacceptable Nik beaten 4.5 lengths (30.59) in a Mix 6/7 H. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Last start finished 4th in a Maiden FIN on February 26 over 515m at Sandown behind Divine Feelings beaten 4.5 lengths (30.09). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
