Stake: $4,099

LET IT LINGER (7) missed the frame last time, finishing 6th (20.34) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has won here at this journey. Has winning claims on her best figures. BEST DRESSED (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (20.91) in a Grade 4 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. TICK RETURNS (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (23.84) in a Grade 4/5 at Horsham. Key player on best and worth another try. TRICK (8) placed last time (23.10) at Warragul in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (20.56) over 350m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 6th on July 10 over 350m at this track behind Here Comes Billy beaten 7 lengths (20.34) in a Grade 4/5. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back at Hobart over 461m in 25.91. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at Warragul at Grade 4/5 three days ago. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.
