COUSIN SAL (2) was well fancied but drifted back before winding up with a late dash home to place, 3.5 lengths from the winner (22.95) at Maitland in Maiden. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature in the finish again. HELLO SHELLY (4) recorded a 6 length third in a Maiden last time 30.24 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SNEAKY GERI (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (31.28) at Richmond behind Ebby Mouse in a Maiden. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. MODEST MAN (8) is right in the mix.

Finished second last time (31.28) over 520m at Richmond. Tricky draw to overcome. Solid top-three prospects.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (23.49) at this track last start. Boxed out wide and looks safely held.

Turned in a fair debut over 400m at Maitland where he was well back early but wound up late to finish fifth (23.17) and beaten 12 lengths. Likely to be much improved. Must be included.
