STILTON MILEY (3) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fourth by 4 lengths (20.46). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Has winning claims on her best figures. DISTORTION (6) is first up since finishing seventh (18.78) in a Grade 5 at Richmond over 320m 11 weeks ago. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. JOKER BONUS (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Taree Super Track over 300m behind Majestic Tyson (17.96) in a Grade 5. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. HOOTIN' ANGEL (8) cannot be ruled out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 411m at Casino. Prefer in something easier.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (17.96) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has two successes and three minors from 10 starts from box 2. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
