HOPE JUAN (1) was in the minors two back (24.16) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. PHOENIX TAN (6) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (25.57) at Shepparton. Can figure in the finish. BLAME MARGARET (7) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Comes off a (24.49) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 425m at Traralgon. Looks suited here and can measure up. WHIRLER (4) won as favourite last time and is in the mix again.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 9 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.67) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has one success and three minors from eight starts from box 2. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fifth (22.47) over 390m at Shepparton. Capable of taking this out.

Good performance to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m (25.54) beating Wyong Houston in Grade 5 on July 23. Should be around the mark.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when eighth (25.09) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and looks tested this line up.

Latest effort finished 5th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 4.5 lengths (25.57) behind Secret Joker in a Grade 5 on August 3. Has run blistering time here with a 23.89 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Won her last two including a strong win last start over 425m at Traralgon by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Surprised two starts back at Geelong to win by half a length in 23.13, beating Paw Lester. Last start finished 7th over 390m at Warrnambool beaten 8 lengths (23.08) behind Mr. Kia Ora in a Grade 5 on July 30. Looks up against it this time.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
