SOLICIT (7) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing third behind Lady Julia (22.53) in a Mix 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must come into calculations. HOT SCOTCH (8) has mixed form, but did hit the frame three back and was narrowly beaten next start before a fourth (30.00) at Sandown in a Grade 5 FIN latest. Expected to bounce back to best. ASTON MONARCHY (4) was a last start winner (22.25) from Box 8 at Ballarat. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Sure to be thereabouts. MARAIS BALE (2) is in the mix after placing here out of the same box time out.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.75 lengths third over 425m at this track, clocking 24.42. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Came from wide draw and finished last on January 20 over 390m at Shepparton behind Knee Deep beaten 13 lengths (23.08) in a Free For All. Hard to entertain this time.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional, going on to clock 22.25 in a 3.5 lengths win at Ballarat. Has scored three times from this box. Key runner.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.23) at Shepparton over 390m. Has claims if at his best.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.57) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
