SPECIAL PLAYERS (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 400m behind Paw Brody (23.46) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ARCHIE'S GIFT (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 400m. Bold showing expected. ZIVA DIVA (8) turned in a better effort at Ballarat last start, finishing third behind Aston Reeves (26.46) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Hard to beat again. CALL IT FATE (2) defied the market to win last start and can go on with it.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.75 lengths win at Bendigo over 425m in 24.24. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length third (24.47) over 425m at Bendigo. Solid chance with even luck.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.03) at big odds over 400m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need to find best.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 3 at Bendigo over 425m. Last start was third over 400m in 23.00, behind Shallow Sally. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (22.45) over 390m at Ballarat. Tends to run fairly well from the draw and can measure up.

Placed last time (26.46) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 13 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from nine starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
