MEANINGFUL (4) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when seventh (35.27) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Generally a safe beginner but never in it last time. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can bounce back. BELAIR ETHYL (7) was in trouble and failed to finish at this track last time after running seventh in a S/E Group 1 two back. Can do much better this time. PAW FORTRESS (5) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by a long neck (42.24) at Sandown. Expecting another bold showing. FOXY BARBELLA (1) placed last time at big odds - worth some thought.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 0.9 lengths third over 600m at this track, clocking 35.27. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.

Was out of placings last time (35.37) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Good effort to win last start by a long neck over 715m at Sandown in a handy (42.24), beating Paw Lovisa. In winning form now and looks a major threat.
