WHATEVER HE SAID (3) missed the frame last time when fifth (28.38) at Horsham but prior to that had two placings in a row. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Looks the one to beat on his best form. IMPOSTER (2) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only 4th and beaten 1.3 lengths (23.13) at Warragul. Cannot be taken lightly. COUNTY KILDARE (1) turned in a better effort at Healesville last start, finishing second behind Sun In Cuba (19.57) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. IS HE HAPPY (4) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this circuit.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths second (19.57) over 350m at Healesville. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Missed the frame latest (28.38) when fifth over 485m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame last start when eighth and beaten 11 lengths at Sale. Form solid prior to that including a win at Geelong three back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.47) at big odds over 390m at Shepparton. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
