RED HOT KERMARO (2) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 515m. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. DASHING JIFFY (3) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Missed the frame latest (30.85) when eighth over 515m at this track in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MEPUNGA GYPSY (7) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (29.93) in a Mix 6/7 last time at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. REGAL ALLY (1) cannot be underestimated.

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.
