CHANCE TO SHINE (8) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (18.67) at this track in a SPECA over 318m. Expected to go well again. BIG TIME LOCKEY (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths (18.80) behind CHANCE TO SHINE at this track. Must be included in calculations. OPAWA EMMA (4) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (18.87) at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. JOE BANANAS (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (19.01) when fourth over 318m at this track in a SPECA. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and seven places from 21 starts. Looks one of the chances.

Last start finished eighth over 318m at this track, beaten 9 lengths (19.31) behind Chance To Shine in a SPECA on December 8. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Latest effort finished 3rd over 318m at this track beaten 3 lengths (18.87) behind Chance To Shine in a SPECA on December 8. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 318m in 18.58. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 318m at this track at SPECA level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
