HELLO MATE (4) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.16) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record here including two wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Tough to beat if on-song. SWIFT ZARIA (6) placed two back in an A5 at this track then was not far away from trap five last start when second (29.14) over 480m at this track. Expected to do much better this time. PHARIS PEARL (1) took advantage of the inside draw and gave a big sight in front when second and beaten a head (29.02) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Overdue and expected to feature again. MOULTON MELANIE (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.
