Avoid Me has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MEGA FIGHT (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start over this track and distance, warming to the task late to be beaten a neck. Doesn't win out of turn but is rarely far from the money. This looks a nice assignment. AVOID ME (8) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 1.1 lengths over 1600m at the Wean picnics. Facing a tougher assignment but she races well here and is a winner at the mile. REALLY MOTIVATED (12) battled on okay and was beaten under two lengths when seventh in a 1400m contest at Bathurst two weeks ago. Won her only race here at this distance. Well in after Simpson's claim and should be highly competitive. MEGHAN (10) battled on okay without threatening last start in a slightly longer race at Grafton. Out of the winner's list for a while but worth each-way consideration. CATS QUARTERS (9) has placed five from nine at the distance and is very fit after four runs back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Mega Fight.
