CHERU (5) has really found winning form, making it two in a row when scoring over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can continue to build on the strong recent form. TONALA (2) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by one length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to be tough to stop again. RIPLEY EFFECT (4) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track a month ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SCOOP THERE IT IS (1) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.

The run before that ran last of 7 at this track on May 15 over 1609m, 25 len behind Right Trappe with 54kg at $40.70. Beaten comfortably last start but is capable of better.
