BLUE OPAL (1) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.75 lengths second over 401m this track in 22.92. Deserves serious consideration. WINSOME STORM (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park (29.94) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to bounce back to best. SPRING CRUISER (5) is a talented dog who hit the ground running off the tricky draw and was never headed, winning (18.38) at this track in Grade 5 over 320m. Solid record here including two wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. FLYING SEPOL (2) will be hard to beat with a drop in distance.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.75 lengths second (22.92) over 401m at this track and making it two placings on end. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (23.38) over 401m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Placed last time (29.94) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from five starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 23.03, beating Tap Out Kitty. Last start finished last in a Mix on June 17 over 520m at this track behind Euro Keeping beaten 16 lengths (30.78). Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
