THUNDERSTONE (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 22.77 beating Lucy Jane. In top form and looks a key chance again. WEST TWO AFFAIR (1) finished well back at Shepparton last time when a 13 length sixth (23.16) but scored three back at this track (25.04). Likely to be about the money. ZIPPING TYRA (3) is a strong form, jumping from this same box to score (22.94) by a long neck in a Grade 7 at Warragul last time and making it back to back wins. Rates a key player again. KING LITTERBUG (7) won with authority last start. Big chance on that form.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Geelong over 460m (26.06) beating Aston Allure in Grade 5 on April 21. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 460m at Geelong beaten 2.5 lengths (25.92) behind Paw Kramer in a Grade 5 on April 26. Racing well and deserves a win.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording five placings in a row, before finishing eighth (30.89) at The Meadows last start. Has a wide draw to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.
