SPRING STEFFI (7) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 365m at this track in a superb 20.63. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. OPAWA CHLOE (1) turned in a solid run last start over 515m at Gosford finishing 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (29.90). Has ability and can measure up. ROMANI LASS (3) had been going along well winning a Grade 5 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fifth (21.56) at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. OPO ROSE (2) profiles nicely over this trip.

Won two starts back over 365m at this track. Last start she finished 5th in a Grade 5 on November 7 over 515m at Gosford behind Under Anesthetic beaten 5 lengths (29.90). Draw likely to suit. Key chance on best form.
