SKY KEEPING (5) has a terrific record this track and trip with three wins and one placing from four starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (22.58) in a Grade 4/5 over 400m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. LITTLE ESMERALDA (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (18.43) at Richmond over 320m. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. JUNIOR CREEK (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind SKY KEEPING (23.14) in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature. GO FORWARD BLOCK (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Temora. Form solid prior to that including a win at Wagga three back. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Didn't make the placings last time at Temora (19.11) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.25 lengths sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from five starts. Will need the right run.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.06) at big odds over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need to find best.
