DURAN STING (6) has missed the placings at her last two but was third at this track three back and returns to a distance where she tends to run well. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. FABIO PHOENIX (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 401m behind Zipping Largo (23.55) in a Grade 5. Won at his only start from this box. Key runner on best form. ELLA'S GLORY (8) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 4 lengths (17.45) at Taree Super Track. Looks a primary danger. NIKITA TO EXCEL (2) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on January 21 over 401m at this track behind Zipping Largo beaten 8 lengths (23.55). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (31.09) in a Grade 5, finishing a 17 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 300m at Taree Super Track in a handy (17.45), beating Mulwee Princess. In winning form and can measure up again.
