QUICK STRIKE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (42.54) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Looks the one to beat on her best form. STAR STAY (5) filled a minor placing last start at Shepparton behind Vintage King (37.73) in a Grade 4/5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature. CHARLESTOWN (8) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 16 length 5th at Warrnambool (38.79). Shapes as one to consider. MAGIC SNOWDROP (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (42.54) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Has ability and should feature.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on January 5 over 650m at Shepparton behind Vintage King beaten 3 lengths (37.73). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 650m at Warrnambool in a handy (37.72), beating King Ron. Will find this a bit tougher, would be better placed in something easier.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sale over 640m in 36.45. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 650m at Warrnambool at Special conditions race level. Leading chance on best form.
