SLINGSHOT FRANKY (6) brings consistent A2 and A1 form, with two wins and two placings from his last five, and looks well placed back in this grade. FABULOUS KIMIKO (3) has been holding form with a recent win and a strong second last start. SWING ASHLY (1) is also in the mix, having scored twice in her last five runs. VELVET BLACK (2) has the experience edge and a recent A3 win but needs to rebound from a below-par effort last time. These four shape as the main contenders.
