BILAMBIL BEACH (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 350m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Key chance in this line up. NAVAL CHOICE (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (21.05) in a Grade 5 at this track. Likely to be about the mark. CARRAMAR RAVEN (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (24.09) in a Grade 5 at Casino. Has a good record at this journey. Bold showing expected. MIDNIGHT MIRAGE (6) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in her.
