MY CAPE ESCAPE (8) comes here after a useful win at Taree Super Track over 300m in 17.44. In form and can measure up again. ELSA ESCARGOT (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (22.11) there the start prior. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Key player if finds best. ZERO FORGING (4) is rarely out of the finish, recording 10 places from 20 starts. Finished in the money last time though when second (22.39) at this track. Can measure up. SAND EXPRESS (3) was beaten into sixth last time but ran impressive time with a sharp 21.94. Worth thought on that run.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 9 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 4 length second over 380m this track in 22.01. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Taree Super Track over 300m in 17.44, claiming a Grade 5 by a neck. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.
