ASCEND KALMIA (1) is a talented type who notched her 6th career success when too good (21.89) at this track last time. Form here at this distance is sound. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Ideally placed to take this out. CAWBOURNE SLICK (4) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 1.3 lengths into third (28.71) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 498m. Bold showing expected. PARTY AT HARPERS (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (22.22) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. FEDERAL BLAST (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.22) in a Grade 4, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.3 lengths third but did clock an excellent 28.71 for the 498m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when she clocked a solid 21.92 over 380m finishing third at this track. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Comments

Produced a good effort last start to finish third on June 9 over 380m at this track behind Ascend Kalmia, beaten 1.5 lengths (22.00) in a Grade 4. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
