I OF THE HURRIKANE (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when she came from the back row and was 2 metres from the winner in fourth at this venue. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but missed by a nose from a similar draw two back. Winning claims with even luck. MERGE RIGHT (2) backs up after she continued the strong recent form with a narrow win at this circuit and distance on Tuesday, giving her three wins and a placing from her last four starts. Draws well enough to push forward so may deliver again. LITTLELIONELJAMES (1) is looming as a real threat from the ace draw having produced after a better effort last week, coming from wider for a 2.5m second at this circuit and distance. WESTERN BILL (8) draws for a trail and owns a decent record at this circuit and distance.
