ZEALOUS REIKO (3) scored her first victory last start at Geelong over 400m (22.51). Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. One of the key runners again. DID NOT (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Rank Limit - Grade 5 winner three back (22.64) at Geelong over 400m. Can find the frame this time. STILL BELIEVE (4) was in the money last time out when second and beaten 2.5 lengths at Geelong over 460m (26.24). Missed the frame only look here. Overdue and is among the main hopes. IRISH CARLA (1) took charge early and was never headed last time out. Will be thereabouts.
