INDIGO SHADE (2) has finished in the placings both career runs so far, the latest when second (19.06) at this track. Tough to beat if runs up to recent form. PORTLAND SASHA (5) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Main Character (22.50) in a Class 0. Was in the money prior to that. Cannot be underestimated. SUNRISE MICHELLE (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.43) in a Class 0 at Cambridge Raceway. New to this track but still warrants plenty of respect. DULLCIE DYNAMITE (8) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Both starts to date have been more than handy. Last start finished runner-up over 318m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Has finished sixth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 318m. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Last start finished 4th over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 10 lengths (22.43) behind Main Character in a Class 0 on February 19. The form out of the last run measures up. Expected to go well.

Has ability but remains a maiden after five starts, the most recent effort a sixth (22.50) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Goes well here despite having never won. Strong form emerging from the that last run.

Ran a fair race on debut when jumped well and was on speed, fading to finish fifth (19.47) at this track over 318m. Should be further improved. Major threat on best form.
