FANTASTIC RALPH (2) has a strong record this track and trip including four wins from seven starts. Missed the frame latest (25.44) when sixth over 431m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited here and rates on top. DAWN'S SISTER (4) was below best last time but the start prior was a Grade 5 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track over 527m in a Grade 5. Expected to bounce back to best. LUMEAH POPPY (7) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (33.44) over 570m at Temora. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PATCHES POINT (5) placed last time in impressive time - worth considering.

Comments

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 600m at The Gardens. Hard to envisage a win.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.75 lengths third over 431m this track in 25.16. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing fifth (31.55) at this track. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.
