SUMO SMASH (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Shepparton following on from a second place finish (24.31) at this track the start prior. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. NICKLEBY ACTION (7) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Wellerman (22.81) in a Grade 5. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SONIA'S BEAUTY (1) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 0.8 lengths from the winner Choji Akimichi (19.64) at Healesville. Winning chance. SHE'S OUR ART (3) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (19.64) at Healesville over 350m. Top-three hope with the right run.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a neck at this track (24.36) beating Chill Out Plate in a T3 Grade 6 on August 13. Well placed and among the chances here.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss at big odds two back when second (22.93) over 400m at Geelong. Has a solid record from out wide but will need everything to go her way.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
