ROCKLEA EARLE (2) goes very well this trip starting 23 times for eight wins and nine minors. Missed the frame latest (22.47) when seventh over 390m at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. With a clean break looks hard to beat. PIPPA'S HERO (5) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 342m at Angle Park in a fast 19.58. In form and looks a leading player again. CHICKEN KNIGHT (1) has a strong record this trip with 10 wins and nine placings from 25 starts. Was out of placings last time (22.33) at Broken Hill in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Can feature in the finish. SLIM RUSTY (8) is worth consideration.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a fast 21.92 over 375m finishing second at Broken Hill. Can measure up if runs up to recent best times.

In the money last time at Gawler (23.05) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2 length second. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Makes appeal on best.
