HIGH SUMMER (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just half a length from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TALE OF LEMONBELLE (4) was well in commission last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can bounce back. TROTTER (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by half a length last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Worth including. AIRFORCE LIGHTNING (3) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.3 lengths adrift in third over 1207m at this track. Top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: NEBLINA (1) RUBY RIVER (2)

At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on July 15 over 1106m, 6 len behind I'm On Edge with 51kg at $8.30. The start before that ran last in a small field at this track on June 23 over 1207m, 14 len behind Coldasice carrying 54.5kg at $19.10. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.
