HAZELWOOD MANDY (5) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (17.14) at this track in a D3. Has the ability and expected to go close. BUCKS QUEEN (2) turned in a solid run last start over 277m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (16.96). Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from five starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. KRATOS (3) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (17.13) in a D3 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. STOPHERS WOTSIT (4) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.5 lengths winner of a D4 at this track over 277m (17.17). Up a notch here but latest effort enough to test this field.
