Despite the small field Hebel, Forgetaboutit and Grinzinger Lass can set a strong tempo. FORGETABOUTIT (2) fought on well enough for second in a similar field to this here 4 weeks ago and has been holding his form nicely since making the move from Queensland. On top here. GRINZINGER LASS (3) is a progressive filly who was good enough to win her maiden when racing out of her rightful class in March. She had a tough trip from a wide gate last time out, 8 weeks ago, and won't mind the drop down to a spring trip with that space between starts. A superior draw and a senior hoop aboard should see her return to the top 3. CHECKTHEMENU (1) did nothing in his first local run after having a torrid trip. He has a nice swing in his draw this time, and with a senior hoop in the irons, he is worth another chance. PROPHESIER (4) ran a much better race when finishing second here 4 weeks ago. He can hold his form now. HEBEL (5) will be peaking third up and can't finish worse than fifth here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forgetaboutit to win.
