GETTING NERVOUS (8) recorded his 1st career win last time out (17.14) at this track and drawn box 8 for the first time here. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. EXCELLENT DASH (7) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths third (17.37) over 300m at this track and making it two placings on end. Well-placed to take this out. DART NIGHTS (1) ran above expectations last time to win her first race by half a length at this track over 300m (17.48). Boxed well here. Harder here but expected to measure up. THUNDEROUS ROAR (4) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 390m at Warrnambool in a handy (22.82), beating Tokyo Romance. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths third (17.37) over 300m at this track and making it two placings on end. More than capable and has to be included.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 17.14 when a neck winner over 300m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
