SELECTIONS: SWEET FLORABEL (7), DIAMOND CHIPP (2), SMOKEN HEAVEN (4), ROBLEN DEMON (5)

OVERVIEW: SWEET FLORABEL (7) was well fancied on debut at Melton last Friday night, and while not much went right for her, she ran a cracking race for third. She galloped at the start and lost significant ground, chased hard to settle last and was forced wide down the back straight when making her run. She did a great job to only be beaten around 8m by Fantasy Flight and Sweetsugarcandyman, who have both shown good potential. Confident she gets the job done here in a very suitable maiden. DIAMOND CHIPP (2) has hit the line well in all three career starts from back in the field to be beaten less than 10m on each occasion and draws well here, SMOKEN HEAVEN (4) hasn’t beaten a runner home his past two but did manage a close-up third to Farroh Joe before that, while ROBLEN DEMON (5) produced a career-best second placing last start at Geelong but did find the pegs there and it might not be the case from gate five this time around.

BACK: SWEET FLORABEL (7) – 7 units (win)
