Comment: WHY NOT OPAL (1) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in eight starts, including four wins and four placings. In the money last time at Sale (25.20) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 2 length third. Looks suited here and rates on top. SODA PEE WEE (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and three minors from seven tries. Recorded a 0.03 length win (22.54) in a Mix 6/7 last time at Ballarat. Can feature in the finish. REMY'S GIRL (6) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and four placings from 16 starts. In the money last time at this track (18.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Can hit the frame with the right run. ROXY DIVA (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
