MEPUNGA WHISKEY (1) is better than last start when fourth (27.80) in a Restricted WIN at Horsham over 485m. Form here excellent including two wins. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. WEBLEC MEMPHIS (7) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 515m this track in 30.01. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Shapes as one to consider. PAW WELKES (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.93) at this track behind Moraine Sara in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature again. SWEET BEE (6) comes into calculations after placing most recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 525m. Last start finished 4th over 485m at Horsham beaten 8 lengths (27.80) behind Fluffy Mason in a Restricted WIN on June 26. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.84) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (29.93) over 515m at this track. Has a low draw. One of the better hopes.

Was out of placings last time (30.67) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Has two successes and three minors from nine starts from box 4. Looks a place chance at best.

Was out of placings last time (30.01) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
