CHAMPAGNE CUDDLE (5) was well supported last time but could only manage third (30.21), beaten a long neck. Ready to find winning form. PAW PHELPS (8) missed the frame latest (30.58) when eighth over 525m at this track in a Grade 5. Already a winner from this draw. Among the main chances. PRETTY HOT (1) goes very well at the course with two wins and a placing from five starts. Was out of placings last time (34.81) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 515m in 29.49. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 600m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Would be better placed in something easier.

Dual acceptor. Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a long neck third (30.21) over 525m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 515m. Last start finished last on January 18 over 525m at this track behind Mepunga Scarlett beaten 10 lengths (30.58) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
