UNDERSHOT VALMA (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when eighth at this track over 400m behind Nevermind (23.55) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. MANDOLIN STORM (7) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Traralgon over 425m. Will give a great sight again. ZIPPING SCOOBY (1) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Bendigo over 425m behind Valletta Pearl (25.24) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Can do much better this time. STAR OF VENUS (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (25.24) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 7 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 11 starts. Key chance and should go close.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (23.37) at big odds over 400m at this track. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and capable of a better result.

Was out of placings last time (17.51) at Healesville in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Will need the right run.

Good performance to win by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.57) beating Mack In Boots in T3 Grade 6 on June 27. Looks a solid contender.

Ran a better race when second behind Dr. Odin at Traralgon last start over 425m (24.67). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
