MEPUNGA SCARLETT (5) is generally an honest type in the frame at 15 of 39 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (23.75) over 425m at this track. Form here is sound including two wins. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. SUGARCANE (4) recorded a 1.75 lengths win (23.84) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Unbeaten in two runs from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run. ZAMBADA ICON (1) finished 2 lengths away in third last start over 425m at this track but in a handy 23.89. Expected to feature again. JETSTREAM ICON (2) is right in the mix.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2 length third but did record a brilliant 23.89 over the 425m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.08) in a Free For All, finishing a 5 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting seven victories and nine places from 24 starts. Can feature with the right run.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an excellent 23.84 over the 425m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Has been racing well and scored a good win last start at Shepparton on November 9 over 390m in 21.90. Not suited by the wide draw; Hard to entertain this time.
