She has been disappointing since winning her maiden race. She is a filly that likes to race on the speed, but has cost herself at the start in recent outings. If jumping on terms, we will be hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Three poor handicap attempts. Drops in the ratings and needs to improve.

She is doing very well at home after finishing a good second in her comeback run over this course and distance. The two main concerns is the wide draw and the second run after a rest. With a bit of luck in running, she should go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:75. Runner-up in latest and the form line has been franked. Respect.

Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)

She has come on nicely since winning her maiden over this track and trip. She does have a wide draw of eleven to overcome, but she gets the services of top jockey Warren Kennedy who will give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle. Her trainer is of the opinion that she has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:70. Trounced rivals to shed maiden over this C&D. Don’t ignore.

She won her last race on the polytrack with ease and has come on since the run. She does take on stronger company, but carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs and gets the services of Warren Kennedy. She is capable of running into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:63. Won maiden well on this course. Shoulders a light weight and can threaten.

She was disappointing in her last start over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Her trainer is of the opinion that she will enjoy the drop back to 1200m and she gets the services of a 4kgs claiming apprentice. We are expecting to see a form return from her.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:83. Needed comeback run badly. The appie claim will help and chance on prior form.

He showed signs of returning to best form in his last start over 1400m. He drops back to the 1200m and jumps from a mid-field draw. Warren Kennedy returns to the saddle and a good run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Showed good improvement last time over further and chance if confirming.
