Track: GOOD      

SWEET DIXIE (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last four starts including a second most recently at Maryborough over 1690m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can get the job done. TWISTING BY (5) resumes after great success last prep, winning on two occasions and culminating in a fourth over 1609m at Geelong on October 21. Well-placed to pick up where he left off when last in work. TRIPLE VINNIES (12) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1790m at Warragul. THE BEACH FANTASY (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Each way value.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Kingman at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo on March 30 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Leavemeout at Maryborough over 1690m on April 22 at $2. One of the key runners.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 13 run. Last start won by 1.4 m (Fr1) at Bendigo (2:38.10) beating Always The Showman in NR 50 to 55 on April 15 at $10. This race will be harder than that win. Rough place hope at the very best.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into fourth after being restrained, behind Andaman Bay at Geelong over 1609m in a 3yo on October 21 at $1.75. Previous preparation first-up won by a head when quickly away, (Fr1) at Melton (2:48.50) beating Heatseeker in 3yo on August 16 at $2.50. Should be right in the finish.

Didn't do much at the last run, hung in on scoring up, 9th (Sr3) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 19 m by Chevron Flies (2:01.80) in NR 54 to 65 on April 22 at $41. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 2080m after showing early pace at Cranbourne beaten 12 m by Lenard Ess (2:34.80) in NR 56 to 62 on April 16 at $71. Not doing enough to threaten the top few.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Wow You Can Dance at Shepparton over 2190m NR 55 to 64 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fourth again at Shepparton in NR up to 70 on April 17. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
