SANDY CHEEK (2) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (22.73) behind Blues Train at Shepparton. Deserves serious consideration. COLLINDA POPS (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (22.81) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has a good record here including four wins. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. One of the better hopes. GREMLIN (1) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (24.64) in a Special conditions Veteran race at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. RABADA (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (22.40) over 390m at Shepparton. Aided by the inside draw and is among the better hopes.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (22.73) at Shepparton over 390m. Forward showing expected.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 5th over 425m at this track beaten 6 lengths (24.58) behind Barooga Queen in a Grade 5 on April 22. Leading chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.58) at big odds over 390m at Warrnambool. Tricky draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.81) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed six times from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.
