Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on September 25 over 515m at Sandown behind Paw Manny beaten 1.5 lengths (29.85) in a Grade 5. Can't recommend in this field.

Nearing another win after her success on July 25 at Geelong over 460m. Last start was second over 425m in 24.07, behind Kurnai Bolt. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (30.28) over 525m at The Meadows. Squeeze draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Was among the placegetters latest at Warragul when a 3 length second but did clock an excellent 22.52 over the 400m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 2nd on September 26 over 400m at Geelong behind Lauriston Girl beaten 1.75 lengths (22.68) in a Grade 5. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
