LIONESS EYES (7) did a good job to finish third last time out over 460m at Geelong (26.18) in a Grade 4/5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Better than latest and can atone here. TIGER SHARK (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 24.21 beating Deadly Force. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. BAILIESTON (2) comes here off a sharp win over 350m at Healesville in 19.36. Expected to feature again. ONLY EASY (8) is worth including.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a neck at this track over 425m (24.21) beating Deadly Force in Grade 5 on November 28. Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 390m at Shepparton beaten 4 lengths (22.28) behind Spicy La Vida in a Grade 5 on December 1. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length third (26.18) over 460m at Geelong. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (25.62) when fourth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5 FIN. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from four starts. Among the chances on best.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
