CREE ELLA (2) flew the lids with a sensational early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (25.27) over 400m at this track. Has ability and is a key runner. OLD FORT OREO (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing third (25.35) at this track over 400m. Leading chance. MOLLYCODDLE (5) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (25.10) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Will give a great sight again. BUTDAREWASEIGHT (4) is building a nice sequence of placings – must be respected.
