DEB CABANG (5) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (22.56) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. One of the leading chances. BIG BIG BEAR (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (26.36) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Should be about the mark. ORIENTAL OPHELIA (6) struggled in tougher grade last start at Bendigo, but prior to that won by half a length at Bendigo (24.42) beating Canya Ignite in a Grade 5 on February 18. The form out of her last race has been franked. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SMOKIN' ARROW (1) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 390m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on February 5 over 450m at this track behind Dad's Surprise beaten 8 lengths (26.36). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Ballarat. Not keen, needs to lift.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (22.56) at this track in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 5 for the first time. Looks suited and should go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.85) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length eighth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.74), beating Presence. Can measure up again with the right run.
