GENOVESE (2) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten one length, (20.11) at this track. Racing well and deserves a win. OPHIDIAN (1) is generally an honest type in the frame at 14 of 20 starts but missed the placings last time when seventh (20.57) over 350m at this track. Rarely misses off this draw. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. CALL TO ARMS (3) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and eight placings from 21 starts. Missed the frame latest (20.53) when seventh over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. NOIR RIPPLE (4) profiles nicely over this trip.

Well supported here last start but failed to deliver, finishing finished 7th over 350m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (20.57) behind Wiggle On in a Grade 5 on March 22. Placed two back at this track. Leading contender.

In the money last time at this track (20.11) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a one length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 20.04. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 350m at this track at Grade 5 level. Major threat on best form.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 300m at Casino beaten one length (17.05) behind Kooringa Kate in a Grade 5 on March 26. Narrowly beaten last time but this will test.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 20.01, beating Rapid Lulu. Last start finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 4 lengths (20.27) behind Cash Riot in a Grade 5 on March 29. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (20.14), beating Love This Bar. Will find this a bit tougher, not likely to feature on this occasion.
