MANOR WIFE (1) hit the frame two on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 261m (16.36). Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. The hardest to beat again. BEECHWOOD KATE (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (16.57) but was a winner four back in the best time of the program. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from eight attempts. Leading chance. DISTANT BARBIE (4) has gone well at her last couple of runs here, most recently when second beaten half a length (16.31). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to her credit. Expected to feature. LEOS LOKI (3) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
