BUN WILDFIRE (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when sixth at Shepparton over 450m behind Red Shiraz (25.95) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FIRE WIRE (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.02) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Must be included in calculations. TANTANGARA GIRL (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (29.41) in a Grade 5 at this track. Bold showing expected. LONG LEGS LIAM (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Missed the frame latest (25.95) when sixth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Is back up to 500m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fifth over 390m at Shepparton six days ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
