DOCHERTY (6) flew the lids off the inside draw with a sensational early split last time and gave a sight, finishing a 4.5 lengths second (25.59) over 460m at Warragul. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and expected to feature again. WILL VANSON (8) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at The Meadows (30.18), making it two straight wins. Has a strong record at this journey including two wins. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. DUNDEE DIXIE (2) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.3 lengths (29.79) behind Paldron Bale at this track. Leading chance. DYNAMITE DOUG (7) is another with top-three prospects.

Comments

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 515m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (29.79) at this track. Drawn close to the inside. One of the better hopes.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sale over 510m in 28.93. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 515m at this track at Grade 5 level. This looks too tough.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at Warragul in 25.59 last time but the start prior recorded a dynamic 25.01 over 450m finishing second at Ballarat. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Geelong (25.89) beating Paw Zelini in a Grade 5 on January 17. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Won his last two including a good win last start over 525m at The Meadows by one length in a Grade 5 FIN. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
