THERMAL SAPPHIRE (2) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where she gave a sight, finishing second (24.61) and beaten 1.75 lengths over 425m at this track. Sure to be about the mark. PAW CHIKORITA (1) safely held at two start to date, the latest finishing near the tail. Worth another chance. BERRY HILLS (7) unwanted in betting but showed good early dash and led until late, finishing third and beaten half a length (22.93) at Ballarat in a Maiden over 390m. Bold showing expected. TALTARNI GREY (8) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Last start finished 6th in a Maiden on November 4 over 390m at Ballarat behind Sweet Tessa beaten 6 lengths (23.14). Looks a strong winning hope.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (24.61) at this track over 425m. Key chance on best form.

Yet to break through in 16 starts, the latest result a fourth (22.82) over 390m at Ballarat. Best form too good to ignore.

Finished third at big odds last time (24.72) over 425m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

At the last outing finished last in a Maiden on November 4 over 425m at this track behind Shock Jock beaten 5 lengths (24.84). Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
