RAVEN XANDER (2) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed five of 10 career runs. In the money at the last two runs. Expected to feature in the finish again. HAVING A LOOK (1) showed good early speed but faded to a close fourth (23.22) at Shepparton over 390m. Maiden this journey but has some solid runs behind her. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Should be in this for a long way. RAIN BOMB (3) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Ballarat over 450m behind Lochinvar Lord (26.88) in a Maiden. Some good form is emerging from his last run. One of the better hopes. RIVIERA BELL (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish from this box.

Yet to break through in 10 runs, the latest effort a third over 450m at Shepparton in 26.09. Rarely out of the placings off this draw. Should prove hard to beat.
