STELLA SHADOWS (2) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for eight wins and three minors. In the money last time at Hobart (26.07) in a Grade 3/4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Expected to go close. DARLING DANGER (8) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (26.10) over 461m at Hobart. Can hit the frame this time. RAGING RAMBO (4) was a surprise last-start placegetter worth considering.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 461m at Hobart beaten 1.5 lengths (26.20) behind Dip The Donut in a Restricted WIN on August 4. Looks tested in this company.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Hobart over 461m. Last start finished 3rd on July 31 over 461m at Hobart behind Fisherman's Wish beaten 3.5 lengths (26.07) in a Grade 3/4/5. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (16.31) over 278m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Looks close to another win after her success on July 24 at Hobart over 461m. Last start was second over 461m in 26.10, behind Canya All Up. Has run slick time here with a 29.9 PB at the distance. Go close.
