DUSTY MCGRAW (6) is a talented type who boasts a strong winning strike-rate at this distance. Jumped well when winning his last couple. Scored latest at Dubbo in a handy 22.94. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Form reads well for this. SUMMER DREAM (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 1.3 lengths (17.96) at Richmond. Solid beginner and with a good start can clear the tricky draw. Looks suited and is one of the contenders. MAYBE NEXT WEEK (1) is a last-start placegetter in a fast-run race - should be thereabouts.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 365m. Not doing enough to be considered.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Richmond over 320m in 17.96 last start, beating Maybe Next Week. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with her.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 400m at Dubbo in a handy 22.94 beating Caddie's Girl. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Has hit the frame at his last five runs, the latest finishing third at big odds in 30.17 at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.

Did a good job two starts back at Richmond to win by 7 lengths in 18.07, beating Triple Phantom. Last start finished 6th on April 22 over 320m at Richmond behind Summer Dream beaten 5.5 lengths (18.34) in a NG. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
