TOWERING LUKE (1) missed the frame last time at Gosford but the start prior rocketed around 365m at this track in 20.57. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. CUMBRIA GEORGE (8) shapes well for this on his outstanding win a few runs back, getting around this track over 365m in 20.54 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. PRINCESS ELLA (5) is a progressive type who recorded her 6th career win last time out (21.03) at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected again. ZIPPING GEORGIA (2) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.17) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and six places from seven starts. Looks one of the chances.

Strong performance to win by a neck at Temora over 330m (18.97) beating Jacobite Thorn in Grade 5 on June 24. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 365m at this track in a handy (21.03), beating Perfect Liam. Can measure up again with the right run.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (21.43) over 365m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Looking to others.
