DR. LOUIS (2) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 7th at this track in a Grade 5. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has winning claims on his best figures. SMOOTH TIGER (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (23.22) at Warragul over 400m. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to her name from 11 starts. Well placed and gets her chance. QUICK RESPONSE (3) finished well back at this track last time when a 8 length seventh (25.41) but scored four back at this track (24.93). Should be in this for a long way. DR. NATASHA (1) is worth including.

Last start finished 7th over 435m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (25.23) behind Dr. Cougar in a Grade 5 on May 3. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Missed the frame latest (25.55) when seventh over 435m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3.5 lengths third over 400m at Warragul, clocking 23.22. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
