IBROX MAVERICK (3) goes very well at the course with four wins and a placing from nine starts. Placed last time (22.58) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. REBORN DESTINY (6) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 400m behind Hi Lo Rain (23.80) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Has the ability to give this a shake. HOOKED ON HOPE (1) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last four runs. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 10 over 400m at this track behind Hi Lo Rain beaten 2.5 lengths (23.12). Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. MISS ELPHABA (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (23.12) at this track over 400m. Should be around the mark.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (23.33) at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Will need plenty of luck.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on April 14 over 388m at Gosford behind Morning Daylight beaten 6 lengths (22.58). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.
