SPECIAL STYLE (3) was below best at her last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (22.75) there two back. Has a strong record from box 3, including two wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DESPICABLE DASH (6) goes very well here including four wins. Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (17.79) in a Grade 4/5 over 324m at Richmond Straight. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BUMPY BLUE (8) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (23.35) when sixth over 400m at The Gardens in a Grade 4/5. Among the main chances. OUR CHINA RED (7) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Was out of placings last time (23.51) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 400m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (23.10) behind Mustang Ethics in a Grade 5 on May 26. Placed two back at this track. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
