IMITATED (5) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (25.93) but scored five back at this track (25.54). Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Ready to return to form. DIAMANTINA PEAR (4) flew the lids with a sensational early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths third (25.51) over 450m at this track and making it two placings on end. The form from her last run stacks up well. Expecting another good run. ASTON FIXER (2) finished second (30.20) two back at Sandown but out of the placings last time when 6th there. The form out of his last race has been franked. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. LOUD MOUTH LOUIE (6) can measure up with the right run.

In the money last time at this track (25.51) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
