BADGER'S BEAST (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in 14 starts, including 13 wins. Recorded a 8 length win (22.01) in a Free For All last time at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. HANK MCCOY (8) is a speedy runner who can find the front with a clear break. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on March 9 over 400m at this track behind Red Opal beaten 2.75 lengths (22.82). Looks suited here and can measure up. ZIPPING VIVID (7) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 3 lengths (30.28) at Taree Super Track. Capable of going close again. FLYING GODDESS (4) can find the frame without surprising.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (34.96) at big odds over 600m at The Gardens. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.

Finished third last start (17.67) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Taree Super Track over 525m in 30.28 last start, beating Zipping Hagen. Sure to be about the mark.
