MELANIA BANNER (1) was beaten into fourth last time but ran impressive time with a useful 17.68 at this track over 324m. Hard to top on the time from last start. MAGIC MANIA (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with six wins and a placing from 11 tries. Hit the frame latest (17.48) when second at this track in a Grade 4. Looks well placed here and among the chances. JUST A MONARCH (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with 10 wins and 10 minors from 28 tries. Below best last time at this track (17.54) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a one length fourth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DESPICABLE RAMBO (4) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 4th in a Grade 4 on April 2 over 324m at this track behind Brailey Banner beaten 4.5 lengths (17.68). Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.54) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a one length fourth. Has one success and six minors from 11 starts from box 2. Looks a key chance on best form.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (17.50) beating Despicable Kyro in a Grade 4 on March 19. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track and clocking a brilliant 17.44 for the 324m trip. Can measure up on top win two back.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 324m at this track in a handy (18.09), beating Dire. Will find this a bit tougher, other runners look much more appealing.

Missed the frame when seventh (28.17) at Temora at last run and returns here after a 11 months break. Has never been out of the money from three first-up runs. Could pose a serious challenge.

Eye-catching performance to score by a half a length in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking an excellent 17.49 for the 324m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
