TROY SMOKIN JOE (3) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 1.5 lengths behind Melbury Tyr in 30.39 and recording a new PB here. Expected to push the clock again here. BELIEVE YOU CAN (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 500m. Form should stack up. TRIPLE UPGRADE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (43.32) in a OR at this track. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course and distance. Cannot be taken lightly. FASTLANE BEAR (6) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A8 by a neck at this track over 500m (30.38) last time. This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again.
