CURL CURL GIRL (1) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.75 lengths (22.81) at this track. Should be in this for a long way.

Last time finished 2nd over 401m at this track beaten 3 lengths (22.92) behind My Baby Brooke in a Grade 5 on October 11. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start.

MAD BEN (7) did the right thing for favourite backers last time and is sure to feature again.

Has been fancied in recent starts and is performing up to expectations. First time from this box but suited by an inside draw. Goes well at this course, overdue for a win and gets her chance this time.

Placed at both starts this track and trip. Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 7 over 401m at this track behind Curl Curl Girl beaten 2.75 lengths (23.01). In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Hit the frame latest (23.23) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
