SHE LIKES BEER (4) could manage only third at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a solid 22.17 over 390m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks hard to top. ZELDA BRAGA (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a neck second (25.44) over 450m at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Bold showing expected. SCOTT GREYSCALE (5) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths (24.13) at Bendigo. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Has ability and can atone. MIDNIGHT THUNDER (2) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a neck second (25.44) over 450m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 525m at The Meadows. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished third at this track last start over 450m. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (24.13) over 425m at Bendigo. Has a superb 25.11 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (28.58) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length seventh. Yet to miss the placings in four runs from this box, including two wins. Will need some luck to feature.
