Stake: $1,775

FRANK GRIMES (2) latest effort finished 4th in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on January 29 over 390m at Shepparton behind Candles beaten 7 lengths (22.65). Rates on top and should go close. CRAIG KEEPING (4) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (24.53) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Leading chance. DESTINI REBEL (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (28.77) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Great chance to atone. SCOTT LIL DIVA (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.82) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 400m at Geelong in a handy (23.51), beating Alpha Girl. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.
