Carnarvon

VIOLENT (5) won well two back before a disappointing performance most recently when an equal favourite over 1200m. Out in trip now may hold the key as she looks to improve through the grades. Her last start SP is worth noting and that suggests she's better than this grade. LE TROY (2) will find this easier than what he's been racing in, beaten a long way after jumping slowly over this track and trip 9 days ago. Will need some luck, but he's good enough if the breaks come. HOT NOVA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track when sixth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DASHING DIVA (4) can bounce back to winning ways as she drops back to an easier race today. WILLYABRUP (12) finished in tenth at his most recent appearance over 1600m at this track. Appeals as a top-four contender.
