SOMERTON WILLOW (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (23.58) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can turn form around here. GO STEVIE (2) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 400m behind Mr. President (23.33) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. SUPREME QUEEN (3) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at Sale over 435m behind Jumbuk Wang Wang (25.04) in a Grade 5. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Shapes as one to consider. SAND DUNES (7) has strong credentials from this draw.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 H on August 18 over 400m at this track behind Sky Wolf beaten 15 lengths (23.58). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Missed the frame latest (23.33) when fifth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and 11 places from 19 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (25.04) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 3 lengths at Traralgon (20.30) beating Crypto Royalty in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on June 29. Prepared to overlook.
