BLACKPOOL FINN (5) flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.5 lengths over 400m at this track (22.62). Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. MISS JO (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (25.39) at Ballarat behind Elite Intention in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Hard to beat again. STILL BELIEVE (4) got the job done again after leading to make it back to back wins at this track over 460m (26.12). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Has definite claims. MAC AND CHEESE (1) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Placed last time (25.39) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 2.75 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a leading chance.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 460m at this track (26.12,) beating Flying Offshore. Query squeeze box draw. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a respectable 22.62 over the 400m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length sixth (24.98) over 435m at Sale. Can't recommend against this lot.
