BEN SHIRAZ (2) finds it hard to break through. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (22.44) at this track. Can measure up this time. JUNO USKO (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Mt Gambier over 512m behind Big Diesel (30.37) in a Special conditions race. Was in the money the start prior. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Expected to feature in the finish. WHIPSTICK BOBBI (3) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (23.30) in a Restricted WIN H at Horsham. Can feature with the right run. SALLY SHINE (6) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Special conditions race on May 10 over 512m at Mt Gambier behind Big Diesel beaten 12 lengths (30.37). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Strong performance on debut, to post a big 5 lengths victory in a Maiden last start at Geelong, recording a useful 22.64 over the 400m journey. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
