CHEERS FOR BELLA (2) could manage only third at this track last time but turned heads when posting a dominant 41.79 over 710m at this track the start prior. Hard to top on the time from two back. ACE'S CHANCE (7) is a well performed dog who recorded his 20th career win last time out at this track (42.30). Has a good record here at this journey. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Sure to measure up. AKELA OLA (8) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 710m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to her credit. Expected to feature again. GARRISON (1) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (42.52) over 710m at this track. Form from this box is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 710m at this track in a handy (42.52), beating Enchanted Ava. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk in this.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 710m in 42.30, making it two wins on end. In top form and can make it three straight.

Looks close to another win after her success on March 20 at this track over 710m. Last start was second over 710m in 42.42, behind Ace's Chance. This appears within her reach.
