WICKED RAVEN (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind MR. INFORMANT (17.75) in a Mix 1/2/3. Has the pace to be prominent. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including three wins, from eight starts. Must come into calculations. MR. INFORMANT (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 17.55 beating WICKED RAVEN. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Bold showing expected again. MAJOR SOKO (3) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (18.86) at Richmond. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. ZIPPING MONROE (8) is new to this circuit but can play a major role.

Improved sharply when second behind Mr. Informant at this track last start over 306m (17.75). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Good performance to win by 2.75 lengths at this track over 306m (17.55) beating Wicked Raven in Mix 1/2/3 on November 2. Can make it two on the bounce.

Was out of placings last time (18.86) at Richmond in a Mix 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Has five successes and five minors from 18 starts from box 3. Looks a key chance on best form.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 6th last start over 401m at Richmond (23.44) beaten 9 lengths, behind Goodbye Mate in Mix 1/2/3 on November 1. Looks tested in this company.
