GREEN SHOOTS (2) is yet to break through in 10 starts but has run a number of placings. Was below best last time when missed the frame finishing sixth (23.03) at Shepparton. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FILL THE TANK (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing eighth (23.96) in a Maiden at this track. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. RED HOT PRETTY (3) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed five of 14 career runs. Leading player again. PATTY'S DREAM (5) was in the money last start despite a big quote and is likely to feature again.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (26.37) over 450m at Shepparton. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has ability and should run well.
