ASTON ARETHA (6) has been out of the placings last couple but impressed when posting a 22.17 over 390m at this track three starts back. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. NAPIER BALE (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (30.42) at The Meadows over 525m. Expecting significant improvement. SAINT TOMMY (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Moraine Miley (22.65) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Hard to beat again. SULTAN OF SWOON (7) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.63) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length eighth. Has three successes and two minors from 10 starts from box 1. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 390m at this track in a handy (22.65), beating Ocean Sharni. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to envisage a win.
