CHIEF LIGHTNING (1) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including six wins and three placings. In the money last time at Goulburn (20.09) in a NG, finishing a 8 length second. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SCREAMING VIOLET (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from 13 tries. Was out of the placings last time (23.29) at this track in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. SUMMER DREAM (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (22.79) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning chance. MAYBE NEXT WEEK (5) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Hit the frame latest (20.09) when second at Goulburn in a NG. Strong record off the draw with five wins and five minors from 11 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by half a length at Nowra (21.13) beating Seven Inn in a Grade 5 on October 27. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Impressive performance to score by one length in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording an exceptional 22.62 over the 401m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance.
