MY SWEET GRACIE (2) is a smart type who jumped cleanly from the low draw to lead all the way (24.77) at this track in A11 over 400m. Fast beginner who should quickly stride to the lead. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Expected to measure up again. RISING CHIMES (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (25.30) at this track. One of the better hopes. SURELY MAD (4) claimed maiden win two back then finished a 5 length third last start at this track over 400m (25.05). Back to track where she won her maiden. Must include in calculations. HOLDING POLLY (1) looks a chance coming off a 12 weeks layoff.

Missed the placings at the final run of her last campaign, finishing fifth over 400m at this track on January 10. Definite threat.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in an A11 by 1.3 len at this track over 400m (24.77). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (25.30) over 400m at this track. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
