DAM SMOOTH (8) has missed the frame at her last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in her enormous 25.45 win at Q Lakeside over 457m. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. TRUE LEGEND (3) lines up chasing three wins on end after scoring over 450m at this track in 25.48 last time, set up by a fast early sectional. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Leading chance again. MAJOR FLIRT (2) scored an on-pace win two back then gave a start and could manage only 5th at The Gardens (30.46) last time. Won at his only start from this draw. Key player if finds best. MY WARRIOR (5) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 450m in 25.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Casino, the latest when beaten 7 lengths behind Zipping Clampett over 620m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Was out of placings last time (30.77) at Taree Super Track in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.
