LAURA MAY (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (28.14) at this track. Has a good record here including two wins. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must come into calculations. UTAH ICON (1) drifted back settling but did best work late to finish 5th at Shepparton over 450m (25.80). Can do much better this time. LIZARD COUNTRY (8) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 500m behind Salt Speckle (28.43) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Great chance to atone. OPAL WHISPER (2) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2 length second (28.14) over 500m at this track and making it two placings on end. Leading contender.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 24.01, beating Over Achiever. Last start finished 5th over 500m at this track beaten 3 lengths (28.80) behind Honest Beers in a Grade 5 on February 27. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
