Prize Money: $2,172

QUEST FOR STEPS (1) below best last time at this track (17.75) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length sixth. Makes strong appeal on best. BLUE LACE (2) failed to come into contention last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (17.33) beating Aston Paycheck in a Grade 5/6 on July 3. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. SON OF SPIKE (3) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 3.5 lengths win at this track in a handy 17.30. Has a low draw and likes the trip. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. JAFFA'S MONELLI (8) cannot be dismissed although new to this distance.

Missed the frame latest (17.75) when sixth over 300m at this track in a Free For All. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from four starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Latest effort finished last over 300m at this track beaten 10 lengths (17.86) behind Major Ace in a Grade 4 on July 9. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy 17.30, beating Red Ned Gundi. Can make it two on the bounce.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a eighth over 520m at Cannington. Others preferred.

Did a good job two starts back at Cannington to win by 1.5 lengths in 22.04, beating Elite Arnott. Last start finished 4th over 300m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (17.71) behind Jonah Takalua in a Grade 4 on July 16. Prepared to risk.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m in 22.81. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, can't recommend her in this.
