CATUNDA HARLOW (1) was in the placings last time but three back produced a handy 24.34 win over 400m at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again. DROVERS VIOLET (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Whizzy Dot (24.66) in an A9. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Can measure up. SHEER MAGIC (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 400m behind Bubbly Blackbird (25.33) in an A10. Was a winner prior to that. Can measure up this time. HOLLYWOOD ATHENA (3) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a head in 24.66. Last start finished last in an A10 on August 26 over 400m at this track behind Bubbly Blackbird beaten 8 lengths (25.33). May well be worth another chance.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a head into second over 400m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 400m in an A9 at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
