LITTLE BONT (2) jumped well to win over the 485m at Horsham two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at The Meadows last start. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Key chance in this line up. NOVA ROSE (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2 lengths away in third (29.96) at this track in a Grade 5 over 515m. Can feature again. PANTHER'S WAY (3) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (29.88) at this track in a Grade 5 over 515m. Form from his last run is proving strong. One of the leading chances again. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (7) is worth consideration after filling a hole from the same draw last start.

Hit the frame latest (30.77) when third at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Key chance and should go close.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 515m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (35.48) in a Free For All, finishing a 12 length seventh. Has one win and five placings from 12 starts from the draw. Suited here and expected to run well.
