CLAIRKEITH DOLLY (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.25 lengths last start at this track over 500m (30.17). Tougher grade this time but key player expected to to measure up again. KATES BART (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 30.03 beating Johnny Rocker. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. MERTONABY GIGI (1) improved her time on first attempt here at the trip with a half a length second in 30.11 latest. In form and looks a leading player again. RAPIDO WILLOW (6) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 500m (30.81). This easier and can improve sharply.

Hasn't been far away in two runs. Settled off speed early and held position to finish second (30.11) at this track over 500m. Should be much improved on the experience. Solid chance with even luck.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Last start finished last on April 12 over 500m at this track behind Yougo Jenny beaten 4.5 lengths (30.81) in an A4. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
