KNEE DEEP (5) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (16.66). Form here at the trip sound including 12 wins. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Worth another chance. RATTLIN' BONES (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (19.30) in a Grade 5 FIN at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. TARYN'S BLUE (3) put a gap on her rivals last start. Hard to beat again.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a dynamic 19.01 over 350m finishing second at this track. Looks the one to beat on run two back.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 300m in 16.79, claiming a Grade 5 by 1.5 lengths. Has ability and among the chances.

Missed the frame latest (16.66) when fifth over 300m at this track in a Free For All. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. Makes strong appeal.

Comments

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 19.24. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 350m at this track at Grade 5 H level. Others have better credentials.
