SUNNY STRIDE (4) latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on May 11 over 450m at Ballarat behind Hudson Hawk beaten 7 lengths (25.98). Looks suited here and rates on top. NICKY'S SECRET (1) goes very well here starting 12 times for five wins and three minors. Was out of placings last time (30.54) at Sandown in a T3 Grade 5 H, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. MCIVOR JEWELS (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (24.71) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Likely to play a prominent role. BENGAL BEAST (7) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
