ILLUMINATE ME (7) looks close to a win following back-to-back placings. Strong effort last week when she drew on the back row and raced wide but fought on for third at Melton, finishing 4 metres from the winner. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. HELLO POSSUMS (1) has finished top-four in all three starts so far this time in, the latest a third at Geelong when she she started on the back row. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender. LIKE A GAZELLE (10) has placed in two of her last three starts, both of them from this row. Raced three wide but stuck on last week at Melton. Could break through with even luck, DIAMONTY QUEEN (8) is a five-year-old mare on debut. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw. Market watch.
