AZURA STAR (1) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest at this track in 43.25. Has never been out of the money in 10 starts this course. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. NEWINN GINGER (3) failed to feature last start at this track, but prior to that won by a neck at this track (42.17) beating Art Riddler in a S1 on October 10. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. BRIDESIDE BELLE (4) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.51). Capable of a lot better this class. PUNKROCK MERCURY (6) placed last time and cannot be ignored.
