SKETCHY DEMOS (7) is having his first look at this circuit. Scored in one of the quickest times on the card (19.14) latest, winning by one length at Healesville in a Grade 5. Can measure up again. KRAKEN WHISKY (5) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.67) over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. The form from his last run stacks up well. One of the better chances. NATALIE BALE (3) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.08) at Warrnambool and bringing up her 9th career win. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. YELLOW HAWK (2) put a gap on his rivals last start. Sure to run well again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 3 lengths (24.29) behind Prince Pierre in a Grade 5 on January 15. Has claims if at his best.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 0.9 lengths in 22.72, beating You Yang Yaala. Last start finished last over 390m at Shepparton beaten 11 lengths (22.85) behind Hooked On Yuki in a Grade 5 on January 20. Happy enough to avoid.

Latest effort finished 4th on January 1 over 525m at The Meadows behind Lakeview Emily beaten 11 lengths (30.67) in a Grade 4/5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Comments

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (26.30) over 460m at Geelong. Tends to run fairly well from the draw and can measure up.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
