SPRITELY SIAN (2) is a sprinter who excels over the short dashes. Filled the minor placings over 450m at Shepparton (25.47) in a Grade 4/5 but is better placed at the shorter trip here. Form at the trip strong including two wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up this time. WHAT HOPE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 10 wins and four minors from 22 tries. Hit the frame latest (20.12) when third at this track in a NG. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. ORARA DOUG (3) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and nine placings from 20 starts. In the money last time at this track (19.93) in a NG, finishing a half a length second. Can hit the frame with the right run. DIVORCE SOURCE (4) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (20.12) at this track over 350m. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Free For All at this track and recording an exceptional 19.87 over the 350m journey. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 450m at this track. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Showed good improvement when second behind Orara Doug at this track last start over 350m (19.97). Likely to play a major role.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (20.09), beating Rocky Pepper. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 19.52. Must include.
