Zipping Abby is absolutely flying at present and she looked ultra impressive when scoring here last week in 29.74 from this draw. There is a bit of speed drawn underneath her but that should help her out as Dyna Nico should cut off the inside division. She is really improving with every run and she looks to be a star in the making.
Dyna Nico scored a handy 29.86 win here last week and she should lead them a merry dance for a long way again. Her last 40m isn't great but she has been getting stronger with every run.
Broadway Miss is a classy Victorian and she is drawn to hold a forward spot early, with a clean getaway she should sit just behind Dyna Nico early and if she handles the track at her first look she should be in the mix at the end.
Mepunga Treasure rounds out the chances, she can be very hit or miss early but when she times the start she is capable of reeling off very smart sectionals.
Top Four: 8 – 6 – 1 – 2

Very even affair but I think the early speed of Megan Keeping will play a key part in the outcome. Since returning to the track she has been racing in dazzling style and she set the track alight at Maitland last time when scoring in 25.09. She is a doubt to run out the trip but her effort over 450m last time showed that she is getting stronger with every run and when in work last time she did post two placings over this journey. If she finds the bunny early she will give them something to catch.
Miss Sueko can ping the lids and she has won here previously in a brilliant 29.67, she is resuming after a few months off and she should be ready to fire first up.
Weblec Belle has the class edge and if she has been racing against strong company of late, I would prefer her from a wider draw but she is too good to dismiss.
Uno Suzie rounds out the chances, like the top two picks she races best when on the bunny and with a clean getaway she has the speed to match the six and the eight, she isn't as strong in the run home but she should give a great sight.
Top Four: 8 – 6 – 3 – 5

Paua Explosion is armed with a devastating turn of foot and if she is given some room in the first 50m she should be able to roll to the early lead. She hasn't had much luck in her two recent efforts here but I'm expecting her to get a clearer run soon after box rise and she can then show her best form.
Jayney Bale is a classy Victorian speedster and she was desperately unlucky in a heat of the Paws here recently, she would have derived a lot of benefit from that run and she should handle the track a lot better tonight.
Frost Yourself is a consistent type and she consistently goes around 5.50 or a bit better to the first marker, if she shows that type of speed she might hold them out and she could run a cheeky race.
Electric Star rounds out the chances, she scored a devastating 30.62 Richmond win last time and she appears to be getting better with every run.
Top Four: 6 – 5 – 3 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Paua Explosion
Trifecta: 6/3,4,5/Field ($18 for 100%)

Another good heat and it looks to be a speed battle between the one, two and four. I'm giving the edge to the classy Kerrigan Bale, she was placed in the Paws Final last week and she looked impressive when winning her heat in 29.80. If she can turn in a similar display of speed tonight she should hold them out and score.
Jewel Action should match motors with Kerrigan Bale for most of the trip and she has a great record here, she isn't overly strong but there are a lot of speed chasers in this event so if she holds them out she will be right in the finish.
Zipping Midge is a real up and comer and she has scored some slick wins in her brief career. She is still learning but she has the speed and talent to match it with this lot.
Top Four: 1 – 2 – 4 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Kerrigan Bale
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,4 ($3 for 100%)

Foxy Nakita is the real deal and she defeated the in form and exciting Opus Forte here two runs back when posting a sizzling 29.72. Tonight she exits the same draw and she should have no trouble holding them out early and repeating the dose.
Oakvale Destiny was far from disgraced when placed in a heat of the Paws recently and she is an established star, the box draw hasn't done her any favours but she tends to make very few mistakes and she should have no trouble weaving her way through the field.
Assertive Bella was runner up in the Paws last week and she keeps going from strength to strength, I dont like her drawn out wide tonight but she is too good to dismiss.
Jingjing has won five of six and she has high speed but this is a big rise in class for her and she may need a bit more experience to be a factor.
Top Four: 1 – 5 – 7 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Foxy Nakita

Spring Leaf was a recent finalist in the Group One Paws of Thunder and she has been racing in scintillating form. This is probably one of the weaker heats so if she can get away cleanly she should be able to roll to the early lead and she should prove too strong for her rivals. She has the ability to lead or come from off the speed in her races and she looks really well placed here.
Ella Has Class has scored some blistering wins over this trip and if she can cross from the wide draw she will prove hard to hold out, if she happens to get across early she should be able to put some pressure on Spring Leaf throughout.
Oakvale Flyer is much better than her recent form reads and she can run time when she sites the bunny. She has no speed drawn around her so if she steps well she could find herself vying for the early lead.
Kurmond Goddess has the good draw and she rounds out the chances, she hasn't had much luck of late and I would expect an improved effort here.
Top Four: 2 – 8 – 5 – 1
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Spring Leaf
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,5,8 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 2,8/1,2,5,8 ($6 for 100%)
