SHOWGIRL SHIRLEY (5) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing eighth (17.77) in a Grade 5 at Healesville. Generally a safe beginner but never in it last time. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SUGAR BOWL ROSE (2) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.25 lengths third (24.64) over 425m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Expected to be in this for a long way. MORE BOOST RICO (4) turned in a solid run last start over 390m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (22.90). Can do much better this time. PAW PASCAL (7) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.25 lengths third (24.64) over 425m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Ordinary effort last start when she got back too far over 300m at Healesville. Prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Healesville (17.24) beating Mt. View Buck in a Grade 5 on June 6. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 2.25 lengths at Warrnambool (22.55) beating Nirranda Gracie in a Grade 6 on May 12. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.
