HOPE IN HARDSHIP (6) was a little disappointing last start at Ballarat when 4th (26.47) over 450m. Has won here at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Should be very hard to beat this time. PAW NORN (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (24.73) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at Bendigo. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course. Cannot be underestimated. INGA FREDDY (4) jumped well and was right in the mix before fading out of it late when 6th over 450m at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Worth another chance. HOLLY BLUE GIRL (1) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Well placed and among the chances here.

Lines up from box 2 for the first time after finishing a 11 length seventh at this track (26.59) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Makes strong appeal.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished sixth over 400m at Geelong, beaten 11 lengths. Not up to this.
