GOLDSTAR KLEIN (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (25.74) at this track behind Zippy Tippy in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. Makes plenty of appeal. SANDAVE APACHE (5) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fifth (25.43) in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. LILLYVALE LAD (2) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at this track over 350m behind Brindle Bonus (20.62) in a Grade 5. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Cannot be taken lightly. MISS ME (7) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Tough field and looking to others this time.

In the money last time at this track (20.21) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths third. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (20.50) over 350m at this track. Solid beginner who will give a sight from out wide.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
