MEPUNGA EXPRESS (2) comes off a useful 29.49 placing at this track over 515m. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. LAUNCH MODE (1) finished fifth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 525m at The Meadows, taking a Grade 5 H in a slick 30.10. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. JOROGUMO (3) was out of placings last time (30.35) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw. Among the main chances. I'M FABULOUS (6) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 0.8 lengths third but did clock a fast 29.49 over the 515m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.98) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 600m at The Meadows beaten 6 lengths (34.69) behind My Boy Bingo in a Grade 5 FIN on March 7. Hard to recommend this time.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (30.26) at The Meadows over 525m. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at this track over 515m. The start prior was at her best with a one length win over 435m at Sale. Is a danger.

Last start finished fourth over 525m at The Meadows, beaten 6 lengths (30.26) behind Gambella in a Free For All on March 7. Looks a solid hope.
