LOST MY SMILE (2) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 350m at Healesville in a sharp 19.30 on May 3. Expected to push the clock again here. CHEEKY ALESSIA (8) last start finished 4th on May 8 over 425m at this track behind Cheeky Meeki beaten 5.5 lengths (24.30) in a Grade 5. Looks a key player on best form. SIR DODGE (4) had some strong recent form but was below best last time when eighth (28.90) in a Grade 5 at this track. Normally a good beginner but was shuffled back from the inside last time. Should be thereabouts. PAW XYLA (1) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Won two starts back at Ballarat over 390m in 22.44. Followed that up with a minor placing over 410m at Horsham at Grade 5 three days ago. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Won again in quick time making it three on end at Healesville over 350m (19.30). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (28.68) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Will need some luck to feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 450m. Last start finished last on May 8 over 500m at this track behind Parumba Jazzman beaten 8 lengths (28.90) in a Grade 5. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on May 8 over 425m at this track behind Cheeky Meeki beaten 5.5 lengths (24.30). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
