VERSTAPPEN JEWEL (6) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (30.36) behind Fireman Fred at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. MINNIE LU (5) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Class 1 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. GOTHAMS QUEEN (3) missed the frame last time when fourth (30.57) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MAESTRO MOJITO (4) is another with top-three prospects in a small field.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Aided by a low draw but will need everything to go her way.

Was out of placings last time (43.97) at this track in a Class 2/3 FIN, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.
