WILLOW'S GIRL (7) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.15) at this track and bringing up her 3rd career win. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. Well placed and can measure up. SUMO SMASH (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (22.57) in a Grade 5 at this track. Great chance to atone. BELAIR BLUE (1) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths (23.51) behind Vodka Sunrise at Mt Gambier. Bold showing expected. Something for the Multiples: SAINT MICK (2)

Comments

Surprised two starts back at Warrnambool to win by one length in 25.81, beating Paw Roxy. Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on January 16 over 460m at Geelong behind Sparring beaten 10 lengths (26.24). Hard to entertain this time.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just four days ago over 390m at this track by 3.5 lengths in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on January 14 over 390m at this track behind Spring Joel beaten 5.5 lengths (22.57). Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.
