JONI BLACK (3) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from six starts. Comes off a (29.98) win last time, scoring by 8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 525m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. TRENDY TOMMY (5) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length second (29.66) over 515m at Sandown. Has won two of four starts from this draw. Can feature again. KARUNA (2) had the drop on the lead from the inside before drawing clear to score (30.01) at Sandown in a Grade 5 over 515m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Expecting another bold showing. Something for the Multiples: WHERE'S NASSIF (7)

Effortless winner showing plenty of speed to post a big 8 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a swift 29.98 over the 525m journey. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (29.66) at Sandown over 515m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 525m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.36 beating Fancy Freda over 525m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.
