ONE KNEE NONI (6) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a neck, (17.13) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from 10 starts. Expected to feature in the finish again. LEONESSA (1) is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on January 2 over 350m at this track behind Hard Press beaten 5 lengths (20.03). Can feature in the finish. SMALL MERCIES (2) last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on January 16 over 300m at this track behind Chasing Sunset beaten 4 lengths (17.42). Looks well placed here and among the chances. MONTY'S RETURN (8) can measure up with the right run.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (23.38) over 400m at Warragul. Tough draw to overcome but can measure up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
