DAKODA SUNSET (8) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, (17.01) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. WHY NOT EMILY (4) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.10) at this track behind Sidewinder in a Grade 5. Winning chance. GARY KNEW IT (7) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Ballarat over 390m behind Collinda Pearl (23.26) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to be about the mark. SPIRIT OF PANAMA (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.
