ANCHOR CRANKER (3) lit up the clock in 22.55 when winning a Grade 5 over 400m at Warragul last start. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. CHEEKY MILA (1) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 1.3 lengths over 390m this track in 22.28. Expected to feature. HOKKAIDO EXPRESS (6) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 5 length 6th at this track (25.61). Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to give a good account. SMART AS ROSE (7) has strong credentials over this journey.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.28) at this track over 390m. Looks a strong winning hope.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.20 last start, beating Fury's Rage. Solid chance with even luck.

Comments

Could only manage seventh last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently at double figure odds when a narrow second (22.21) over 390m at this track. Drawn out wide and looks tested this line up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
