CRACKERJACK BULL (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 15 wins and 15 minors from 43 tries. Below best last time at Warrnambool (22.53) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth. With a clean break looks hard to beat. TWILIGHT JET (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 450m behind Tarawi Therese (25.63) in a Grade 5. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MASTER OF DREAMS (6) produced a moderate run last time when sixth at this track over 450m behind Tarawi Therese (25.56) in a Grade 5. Can measure up this time. NED THE KNIGHT (3) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (22.53) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth. Strong record off the draw with five wins and three minors from 11 starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.59) over 390m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Prefer others.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (25.99) at this track over 450m. Has claims on best form.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (26.82) at Warragul in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed eight times. Tough field and looking to others this time.
