Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Arrhythmia (1:50.20) in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $3.80. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:52.30) beating Beachbabe Crocker in NR up to 60 M on March 31 at $1.12 at the bell was leading 4.15. Decent effort last start. Drawn to advantage and is an each way chance.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 6th-10.3 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Willows Girl (1:50.90) in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $7.50. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at Albion Park (1:55.60) beating Stripes in 2-3yo+ wins on April 7 at $1.33. Draws better so could play a role.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a head as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:50.90) beating Ripples in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $2.25 at the bell was 3rd-3.19. Two runs back won by 1.75 m as favourite (Fr7) at Bendigo (1:58.20) beating Im Downbythebeach in NR 58 to 66 on April 18 at $1.70 at the bell was 2nd-1.54. Impossible to knock her form this time in and could add to the winning streak.

Racing in great heart. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr9) at this track (1:50.20) beating Senses in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $2. Classy filly who will be peaking at the right time.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was leading 1.74 beaten a head by Willows Girl (1:50.90) in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $2.70. Two runs back won by 1.4 m as favourite (Sr1) at Cambridge Raceway (1:59.50) beating Smackdown in 3yo F on April 10 at $2.10. Draws wide but is reliable and worth including.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start won by a nose as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.30) beating Perfectdelight in 3yo No NR F on April 11 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 4.01. Has won from this barrier before so a bold showing is expected again.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 9 m win (Fr10) at this track (1:52.70) beating Beachbabe Crocker in 3yo No NR F on April 25 at $2.50 at the bell was 3rd-3.71. Draws widest but won from this barrier last week and could do it again.
