MAKE YOUR STAND (7) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 1.5 lengths away in second (22.89). Form from his last run is proving strong. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PAST TENSE (2) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (22.90) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expecting another good run. ABLE RIVAL (6) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Placed last time (22.62) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. NORTHERN TIGER (8) did a good job to finish third last time out over 400m at this track (23.15) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.75 lengths second but did clock a swift 22.90 over the 400m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Muswellbrook, the latest when beaten 10 lengths behind Molly Keeping over 336m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Backs up quickly after winning by a nose at Gosford (22.78) beating Floyd's Dream in a Grade 5 on May 6 three days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

In the money last time at this track (22.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from six starts. Makes strong appeal.
