DERNANCOURT (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (24.86) from Box 8 at this track over 425m. Has ability and can bounce back. ELSA JAY (8) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (26.16) at Shepparton. One of the better hopes. ALICE FROM VENUS (1) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (22.92) at Shepparton over 390m. Key runner on best form. CLASSY SHIFTER (7) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.2 lengths fifth (22.92) over 390m at Shepparton. Looks a strong winning hope.
