DAD'S BOYS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (26.01) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Key runner on his best form. BOLT BLASTER (7) drew the squeeze box but too good when winning by half a length (17.60) at Taree Super Track in Grade 5. Has failed to finish in the placings from two starts here. Significant danger. GILBERT'S HELMET (4) did a good job to finish second last time out over 350m at this track (20.11) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Safe beginner who will go forward from trap seven. Can improve sharply here. DYNAMIC AUSSIE (5) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.01) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Expected to go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 366m at Capalaba. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (20.11) over 350m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Deserves respect.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, others better.
