ADOBE VIDEL (7) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame at the latest finishing a 1.75 lengths 5th at Cambridge Raceway (38.46). Ready to return to form. OPAWA CORBAN (2) failed to come into contention last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 5 lengths at this track (47.23) beating Chief Dribble in a Class 2/3 FIN on June 8. One of the better chances. UNIQUE SUNRISE (6) did a good job to finish third last time out over 457m at Cambridge Raceway (26.26) in a Class 2/3, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can feature with the right run. SPIN BLACK (8) hit the frame latest (26.13) when second at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 2/3. Has already won four times from this draw. Each way.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 318m at this track. Better off looking to others.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.09) in a Class 3, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks a place chance at best.

In the money last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.26) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 6 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks one of the chances.
