KAREN STRATUS (7) ran below best last time finishing sixth (23.64) over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Can bounce back. SAVINA (3) missed the frame last time but just three runs back was a strong Grade 5 winner (22.97) at this track over 400m. Key player on best and worth another try. ZIPPING LARGO (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (20.46) in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can feature with the right run. LIGHTNING BLITZ (1) cannot be underestimated.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 5 lengths at this track (22.95) beating Sherry Not Berry in a Grade 5 on April 17. Hard to have this time.
