GOOSEBUMPS RICO (4) was quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 24.18 with a head win at this track over 425m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Great chance again. MOTIVATE (2) was a big winner in quick time then came home hard into third and beaten 6 lengths at this track (24.70) last time. Hard to beat again. MIA BLONDE (6) finds it hard to break through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (24.42) at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. SMILING BEE (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (24.50) over 425m at this track. Has the inside draw and is among the better hopes.

Placed last time (24.70) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and four places from 14 starts. Looks a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 425m at this track in a handy (24.41), beating Smiling Bee. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk this time.

Missed the frame last time when seventh (26.92) at Warragul. Prior to that had been racing well. Tends to run fairly well from the draw but will need the right run to feature.
