MELODY FACTOR (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1673m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is among the leading chances. OXAR (7) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth in a 1673m contest at this track six weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. HIPPY HIPPY SHAKE (3) proved too strong last start and scored by 2 lengths over 1710m at this track (Synthetic). Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Can go on with it. GIDDY UP BABY (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1710m at this track. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
