OLD HABITS (2) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (23.54) at this track. Has winning claims on his best figures. INVICTUS HARMONY (6) jumped quickly and led throughout to score two back then well held latest finishing a 15 length 7th at this track (24.00). Key player if finds best. VALVE BOUNCE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.32) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ASTUTE QUEEN (3) should be thereabouts.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (20.14) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 12 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Will need some luck to feature.
