JUST IN CASEY (1) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins and two placings.

LADY NESS (2) drew an outside box and got into the minors when a 6 length second (39.16) at Warragul in R/A FIN. Missed the frame only look here. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in the finish again. FAST REPLY (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.86) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Key runner who gets his chance to atone.

Hit the frame at Warragul last time when a 6 length second but did record a solid 39.16 over the 680m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Has raced 22 times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (34.72) over 595m at Sandown. Led for most of the way but nailed late. Capable of getting off the mark.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN on March 23 over 595m at Sandown behind Bold Assail beaten 10 lengths (35.00). Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track. Better off looking to others.

Having his first run at this track and trip. Last start finished fifth at The Meadows over 525m in (30.86). Can adapt and make his presence felt.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a neck at Sandown (34.71) beating Lady Natasha in a Restricted WIN on March 23. Ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.
