GLOW STICK (4) was a big winner two back scoring by 3.5 lengths then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten 2 lengths at Lithgow (17.65). Speedy beginner who can find the front with a clean break from the middle of the draw. Key chance in this line up. HOUDINI ESCAPE (7) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when second (18.52) in a Grade 4 over 320m at this track. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from on outside draw. Expected to do much better this time. BUGATTI RICO (1) did a good job to finish third last time out over 320m at this track (18.71) in a Grade 4, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can turn it around this time. TERESA'S ANGEL (2) should be thereabouts.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Thereabouts at her last couple and is capable of better.

In the money last time at this track (18.39) in a NG, finishing a 7 length third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Suited here and expected to run well.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Lithgow last start over 306m. Has good speed and will take catching despite the squeeze draw.
