SANTINO KADE (8) missed the frame last time, finishing 4th (23.02) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won four of five tries. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Better than last start and worth following up. BOSTON BANNER (7) finished fourth last time at Wentworth Park but could not have been more impressive before that in his head turning 22.71 win at this track over 401m. Must include on winning run two back. ALMOST (1) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at Gosford over 388m behind Diva's Delight (22.81) in a Grade 5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Has ability and can measure up. BLAZING WARRIOR (5) comes off a (22.26) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 388m at Gosford. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts.

Finished second last start (29.99) over 515m at Gosford. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 388m at Gosford in a handy (22.26), beating My Runaway. Should be around the mark.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 4th on May 17 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Ali Tango beaten 8 lengths (30.30) in a NG. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame latest (23.02) when fourth over 401m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
