BUGLE GIRL (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Wentworth Park behind Prim And Pretty (30.25) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to give a sight. The form out of her last race has been franked. Deserves serious consideration. KUNDA (5) was in the minors two back (30.78) at Taree Super Track but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 7th. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SUNSHINE RHONDA (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (30.32) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SPARKY KEY (1) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (23.56) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks one of the chances.

Ran a better race when third behind Prim And Pretty at Wentworth Park last start over 520m (30.25). Has to be respected.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.32) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Latest effort finished last over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 9 lengths (30.32) behind Loco Boom in a Grade 5 on February 14. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
