JESS A LIL WHISKEY (5) debuted with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the turn before winding up in second over 302m at this track, beaten one length. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. NEVER A LONG SHOT (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 229m at this track (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. HIGH FLYIN COWBOY (2) led throughout last time over 274m at this track (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Same rider aboard and will be in this for a long way. HIGH FLYING SHAKE IA (4) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.1 lengths over 274m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Among the top-three contenders.
