Trfm (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

DR. AXEL (3) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 435m behind Dr. Calista (25.20) in a Rank Limit - Grade 7. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Should bounce back. DR. MAVERICK (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (25.26) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track. Cannot be left out. DR. QUIBBLE (8) was safely held in tougher company last start after being shuffled back early at this track, but prior to that won by a long neck at this track (24.95) beating Dr. Tanya in a Rank Limit - Maiden on February 11. Likely to be about the mark. VENETIAN BELLE (7) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.21) over 400m at Warragul. Has a low draw. Looking to others.

Missed the frame latest (25.20) when sixth over 435m at this track in a Rank Limit - Grade 7. Has two placings from four starts from the draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
