BIG CASH (3) caught the eye on debut when used the inside draw to advantage and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a neck win at Gosford over 388m in 22.68. Promising type and can make it two on the bounce. KALANI CRUISE (2) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (30.24) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. RITZA ROCKER (1) won by 4.5 lengths last start at this track 400m in a solid 22.89. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. KALANI MISS (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Strong performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.89) beating Jet Boots Tommy in Mix 1/2/3 on May 23. Looks hard to beat.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at this track. Placed two back then finished a 2 length fourth (23.21) at this track. Best figures puts her right in this and well worth another chance.

Settled midfield on debut but made ground. Won by a neck at Gosford (22.68) beating Caspian in a Maiden on May 12. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.96) over 400m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Tends to be fast away. Last start finished fifth in a Grade 5 on May 23 over 400m at this track behind My Octavius, beaten 3.5 lengths (23.53). Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Was out of placings last time when fifth (23.32) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 7 for the first time. Looks one of the chances.
