OAKWOOD FINCH (3) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for four wins and two minors. Was out of placings last time (16.70) at this track in a D3, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. SPEEDY BAS (6) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in a D3 at this track (16.58) and making it five straight placings. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CYCLERS RUBY (2) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at this track last time over 280m in (16.57). In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. SOBER CASHOUT (4) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start. Something for the Multiples: THORNTREE BADGER (1)

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 280m in a D3 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Good effort to score last start by a nose over 280m at this track in 16.57, beating Speedy Bas. In top form and can make it three straight.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last five starts, the latest when second (16.58) over 280m at this track. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.
