BEVAN BALE (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (18.78) in a Mix 3/4 at this track. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GO FORWARD LAYLA (8) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Richmond Straight over 324m behind Sudi (18.54) in a Mix 3/4. Can do much better this time. SPEEDY SONIC (4) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth at Potts Park, but was among the placings at this track three back. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. SISTER THREE (5) warrants respect with the drop in journey.
