JAZZY HOPE (3) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at Sandown over 515m behind New Heights (30.18) in a Grade 5 NP. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Better than last start and worth following up. VISTA VANADIUM (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Shepparton over 450m behind Harry Zoom (26.02) in a Grade 5. Great chance to atone. BENGAL BULLET (2) is having his first look at this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Sandown in a Grade 5 NP (30.35). The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to be in the finish again. KID LUCK (7) must be respected at his pet distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (26.02) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame latest (30.18) when fifth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5 NP. Starts from box 3 for the first time here. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.46), beating Smokin' Gracie. Will find this a bit tougher, others have better credentials.

Last start finished fourth over 500m at Bendigo, beaten 5.5 lengths (29.08) behind Queen Shaka in a Grade 5 on May 7. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
