SOUTHBROOK MERV (6) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 2 lengths away in second (18.67) at this track in a Grade 4 over 318m. Expected to feature in the finish again. ADA TARO (1) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 18.38 beating Cindy's Secret. Nicely placed here on the inside and likes the trip. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. GREENER PASTURES (4) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (18.68) at this track. One of the better chances. CHARGE THE CARD (8) did a good job to finish third last time out over 318m at this track (18.71) in a Grade 4, the second top-three finish on the trot. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from on outside draw.

Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 318m at this track by 2 lengths in a Grade 5. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.58) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fifth. Has two wins and four placings from eight starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 318m at this track. Not doing enough to be considered.

Missed the frame latest (18.68) when fourth over 318m at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and should be around the money.
