FARMOR JACUZZIS (2) has a strong record this trip with 14 wins and six placings from 24 starts. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (21.51) in a Grade 1/2 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MARJORIE MAUDE (1) missed the frame last time but before three back recorded the quickest win (21.65) on the program at this track in a Grade 3/4. Can hit the frame this time. PIKA WAVE (7) boasts a strong record this journey with 11 wins and four minors from 30 tries. Placed last time (21.88) at this track in a Grade 1/2, finishing second and beaten 5.5 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well. ZINA CORTEZ (8) impressed last start, winning in good time. Worth consideration.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 498m at this track in a handy (29.14), beating Gifted Lilly. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 5.5 lengths second at this track but did record a fast 21.88 over the 380m trip. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
