ALWAYS SPEEDY (8) stuck on well last time to finish 1.5 lengths back in second (17.01) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 over 300m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Top chance in this line up. SMART ROSCOE (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from six tries. Hit the frame latest (17.25) when third at this track in a Restricted WIN. Looks well placed here and among the chances. OPALINA (2) stuck on well last time to finish a neck back in second (16.92) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 300m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Leading player again. MERRY MYRTLE (1) looks an each-way chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 350m at Traralgon in a handy (20.34), beating Paw Ezra. Looks a solid contender.

Was out of placings last time (30.88) at Sandown in a Mix 6/7 H, finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 17.10 in a nose win at this track over 300m. Won at her only start from this draw. Worth following.
