LOU'S CHALLENGE (1) has had little luck in her two runs to date and she is a member of a strong kennel. Expected to step better from the red and should hold her position through the bend. SELECTIVE (7) has been luckless since his placing here and he is expected to make amends, while HE IS RIDICULOUS (8) is a well bred type and must be respected.

MIA HERRERA (4) has been placed in two of five to date and she won't find an easier race to win. She can go sub 6.10 to the first marker and she will take some catching. HIPPY (7) was far from disgraced when placed on debut here and he will be better for the run, while ABSOLUTE CLASS (5) is better than her past few runs.

MODERN FLAME (6) carved out a sizzling 6.03 to the first marker when placed here last time and she will continue to get stronger with more racing. SPRING AMELIA (3) has been placed in three of six over this journey and she should be primed to fire first up from a spell, while PARTY LOVELACE (4) is a well bred type and she will have some support.

NUNNIONG (4) has shown a lot of improvement recently and he gets his chance to break through. There isn't a lot of pace in this event, so he should cross early and he will take some catching. SPLITTIN' TENS (2) was handily placed at Albion Park two runs back and she will be in the firing line throughout. LATE MATE (5) won't be too far away.

MAJESTIC MAIDEN (3) has been ultra consistent to date and she will continue to get better with more racing. She will go around 6.15 to the first marker and that will see her hold a forward position. CAESAR'S CORNER (2) owns a smart 17.01 PB here and he can atone for some luckless runs of late. BELLA DEL TORO (1) should get the gun run.

COAL CRUSHER (6) was backed for plenty on debut and he was simply dominant when scoring in a slick 17.18. Tough draw today but a clear run early can see him dash away through the bend. I'M ALL CLASS (4) showed some promise here in her first prep and she is expected to fire after a spell. HOOKED ON DAISY (3) is improving with every run.

HAYDEN'S GIRL (5) has scorched early in her two runs to date and she will continue to get stronger with more racing. A clean getaway will see her cross early and she should prove too zippy. LONG JETTY (1) has raced well here to date and she will be in the mix from the outset. LIGHT UP (8) showed improvement to score last time out

COOKIE EXPRESS (1) was smartly placed here in mid April and she has been luckless since. A clean getaway can see her hold the top and she can regain some much needed confidence. STRIKE FORCE SAM (2) owns a solid 17.41 PB here and he will follow the red through early on, while SEE IT ROCK (8) can run a cheeky race.

SIVO BANNER (1) is two of two over this track/distance and he is the best short courser in the State. Can go sub 5.90 early and he is expected to bust the clock today. OUT OF AUSTRIAN (3) has a good record here and he should pressure the red for most of the journey, while HOT BARRELS (8) is another who excels here and he can come out running

KILKENNY BLUE (3) is a star on the rise and he has won four of five here in brilliant style. Can bust six seconds early on and he will be carving out time on the arm. SHINE AND FIRE (1) is another with a great record here to date and she will keep the pressure on the three throughout. GATTING BALL (8) is airborne at present and is a big threat.

SPRING TRAVIS (6) has a great strike rate over 431m to date and he is normally very reliable at box rise. Should settle in the first half and can bust the 17 seconds barrier. BEMBOKA BLUE (2) has a great record here to date and she has raced well in her three runs since resuming. MAGIQUE NOIR (1) showed improvement last time and may be value.

SMOKEY CHET (1) has broken the clock in his past three wins here and he looks well graded again. Should hold the top early and will prove hard to reel in. PUMP MY TYRE (2) has been placed in three of four here and she can follow the red through early on, while TOP SHELF TIM (8) is ideally drawn out wide and he will be strong in the run home.
