WHY NOT IRIS (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (25.05) last time in a Grade 5 at Sale. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Has ability and can bounce back. ANGRY ELLIE (8) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 5.5 lengths third (16.63) over 300m at Healesville. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Expected to feature again. BE GRITTY (4) could manage only third at Sale last time but caught the eye when posting a speedy 19.31 over 350m at Healesville the start prior. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. ASTON BOOST (3) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Eye-catching performance to score by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Sale, clocking a slick 24.43 over the 435m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Finished in the minors last time in a Special conditions race at Healesville when a 5.5 lengths third but did run a powerful 16.63 over the 300m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
