CERULEAN POPPY (1) was on speed throughout but collided in the run and finished third (22.63) at this track over 400m in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MABEL MONELLI (6) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (22.84) at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Expected to feature. SOLID AXLE (4) had been racing well prior to his last start fifth at this track following a Grade 4/5 win three back with a second placing. Expected to do much better this time. FEDERAL FOCUS (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths third (22.63) over 400m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Was out of placings last time (22.86) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 400m at this track in a handy (22.63), beating Szyslak. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
