THATS SO TRUE (3) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 5 length third (29.49) at this track over 476m in an A8. Worth another chance. MELODYS GLOW (4) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in second (29.72) at this track in an A8 over 476m. Must be included in calculations. MOHICAN CORKY (5) finds it hard to win. Finished in the minors latest when third (29.83) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Bold showing expected. HEADFORD ALANA (6) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a neck winner of an A9 at this track over 476m (29.56). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 476m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Happy enough to avoid.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 5 length third (29.49) over 476m at this track last time. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 476m in an A8 at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 476m at this track in 29.83 behind Corcass Puma. Capable of playing a big role.

Good effort to score last start by a neck over 476m at this track in 29.56, beating Ashway Amber. Had found the frame four times on end before a deserved win most recently. Can measure up again.
