CRUISIN' POPPY (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (25.91) at Ballarat. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Key runner on her best form. LITTLE WEASEL (2) ran below best last time finishing sixth (29.41) over 510m at Sale in a Mix 6/7 H. Comes through a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. RECANTED (1) hit the ground running and never headed to claim a maiden victory two back then finished a 7 length fourth last start at Sandown over 515m (30.36). Boxed well here. Can hit the frame this time. TRIMBOLE (4) is a last start all-the-way winner. Right in the mix again.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (29.97) over 515m at Sandown. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.

Was out of placings last time (25.91) at Ballarat in a T3 RSTW, finishing fourth and beaten 1.3 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a leading chance.
