VHAGAR (5) ran well two back when hitting the frame then out of the placings at Dunstall Park latest but returns to a course where she has performed well. Look for sharp improvement here. CHASING RACHEL (2) has a strong record this track and trip including four wins from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (44.59) at this track in a OR, finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. JAVA JOAN (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 712m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Bold showing expected again. FABULOUS RAKIYA (4) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 712m at this track (44.59) in a OR. Goes very well at this track and trip, including four wins. Key player and should go well.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 0.8 lengths, last start in a IV at Nottingham over 730m (44.41). This might be too rich.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 712m at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

In the money two back then well backed last start but she finished 5th on September 12 over 715m at Dunstall Park behind Zenith Pasha beaten 3 lengths (43.56) in a OR1. Capable of improvement on latest effort.
