MISS PUMPKIN (2) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (21.86) at this track in a Grade 4 over 380m. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Expecting another good run. HOPEFULLY FAST (6) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.04) last time out at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. HARA'S REX (3) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
