DRYLAND VELVET (5) lines up chasing another win after scorching around this track over 480m in 28.92 on September 5. In form and can measure up again. SO ITS LILLIE (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.5 lengths last start at this track over 480m (28.86). Goes up a grade but in form and not to be underestimated. FINE BY ME (1) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a nose (29.26) behind Footfield Squeak at this track. Hard to beat again. FREEDOM KESTREL (2) followed a first-up fourth at this track two starts ago with another modest effort to finish sixth last time, beaten 5 lengths, in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.52). Can bounce back this company.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A5 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.
