RELAX MATE (1) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and four placings from six starts. Comes off a (21.81) win last time, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a Mix 6/7 over 390m at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. HYLAND AZULA (2) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on March 23 over 390m at this track behind Paw Elodee beaten 7 lengths (22.50). Winning chance. SCOTT CHARISMA (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money four on end before a last start fifth (22.53) at this track. Form here sound including four wins. Cannot be taken lightly. THERMAL FLAME (3) has top-three claims while fresh from a five-and-a-half weeks break.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 21.81 last start, beating Poetic Star. Likes the rails so has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Was among the placegetters latest at Healesville when a 1.75 lengths third but did clock a powerful 16.63 over the 300m journey. Harder here and looks a place chance only.
