FASCINATE GEORGE (2) posted a flying 22.77 winning over 400m at this track last start. In form and looks the one to beat again. GOLDEN GORT (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (23.63) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Better than last start and can bounce back. WOW PARTY TIME (3) hit the ground running off the inside draw and there until late when holding on for a minor finishing second (15.84) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 272m. Speedy beginner who should be prominent early on from an inside box. Bold showing expected. FASCINATE GLORY (5) won as expected last time – cannot be taken lightly.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.63) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting five victories and seven places from 15 starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a convincing 22.77 over the 400m journey. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths second (15.84) over 272m at this track and making it two placings on end. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.

Good performance after tracking the speed to post a big 4 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.97) beating Just Julia in Grade 5 on April 11. Speedy type who will take running down with a clear break off the middle draw.
