ASCOT SHOWTIME (2) is in good form with placings at three of her last four starts, most recently recording a third from the back row at Redcliffe. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw so could break through. PLAYFUL MISS (1) drew much wider last start but was going well prior, placing in four of her previous five starts. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender. BLUE BLOODZ (3) draws nicely and usually performs well when third-up so may be ready to hit peak form. WESTERN ACTION (4) can continue the consistent form.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Mister Delwin at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 14 at $31. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Western Action (1:57.90) in 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 7 at $4.40. The ace draw may see her hard to beat.

Good run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Western Action at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 7 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Mister Delwin at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 14 at $8. Likely to be there at the business end.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 13 m by Mister Delwin (2:10.50) in 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 14 at $4.60. Before that, 6th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Western Action (1:57.90) in 3yo+ NR up to 42 on April 7 at $23. Strips fitter and from a low draw gets his chance to shine.
