ELLANNE BEST (6) clocked a good 16.06 finishing second in a D1 at this track last start. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again here. RUSSANDA MARIO (1) was a last start winner (16.09) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Boasts a strong record from this draw with seven wins and six minor placings from 14 starts. Can measure up again. ROCKING TAYLOR (5) has a strong record this track and trip with 14 wins and 15 placings from 41 starts. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (15.93) in a D1 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ACOMB IRENE (4) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Good effort to score last start by 1.5 lengths over 280m at this track in 15.93, beating Ellanne Best. Can go well again with the right run.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 280m at this track in 16.06. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.
