BLACK BRONTI (2) is an honest type in the frame at 15 of 32 starts including last time when second (22.65) over 400m at this track. Solid record here at this trip including six wins. Rates highly here and will go close. MINECRAFT FUSION (7) was a course and distance placegetter (23.25) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 9 length third in a Grade 4/5. Worth following up. SPEEDY PEBBLES (3) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 22.65. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 22.78 in a 2.75 lengths win at this track over 400m. In form and is right in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.39) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Looking to others.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.99, beating Macho's Run. Last start finished last over 336m at Muswellbrook beaten 13 lengths (20.06) behind Catch The Tiger in a NG on April 10. Will be tested in this company.

In the money last time at this track (23.25) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length third. Has two successes and four minors from 12 starts from box 7. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
