AUNT BRANDY (1) scored her maiden success two back but safely held last time when seventh and beaten 14 lengths at this track over 400m (24.01) last time. Back to track where she won her maiden. Look for sharp improvement here. LACY SARAH (2) scored off the inside draw two back then finished fifth last start off a wider box (30.68) at Gosford over 515m. Returns to the course where she won her maiden. Well placed here and can atone this time. SAMARA ROSE (7) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (23.70) in a Grade 5 at this track over 400m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Cannot be left out. ZIPPING FLORIDA (3) can find the frame without surprising.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.05) over 388m at Gosford. Boxed out wide and will need the right run to feature.
