VALLETTA PEARL (1) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a Bottom Up - Grade 5 in a powerful 24.34 and a new PB here. Smart win latest and looks a key chance again. COLLINDA RAMSAY (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (22.54) last time in a Grade 5 H at Shepparton. Key runner on best form. DARK HABITS (7) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (22.39) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. WRINKLED HENRY (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.6 lengths at this track over 425m (24.34) beating Fire Up Mark in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on October 27. Can make it two on the bounce.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (19.50) over 350m at Healesville. Aided by a low draw but will need the right run to feature.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 390m at Ballarat. That followed a win two back in 26.03 beating Mombasa's Best over 450m at Ballarat. Tested under these conditions.
