ACE TO BURN (6) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and three minors from 11 tries. Was out of placings last time (18.96) at this track in a Grade 4, finishing fourth and beaten 10 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. HEAR NO GRIEF (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (19.08) in a Grade 4 at this track. Won at her only start from this box. Shapes as one to consider. ANJO PRINCESS (3) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 1 last run (18.46) at this track. Hard to beat again. ICEBERG AHEAD (2) is worth consideration.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on October 7 over 320m at this track behind Classic Lass beaten 10 lengths (18.96) in a Grade 4. Placed two back at this track. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.
