INTREPIDUS (8) has a strong record this trip including three wins from five starts. Comes off a (23.81) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 6 over 425m at Bendigo. Has the ability and should feature. MATCHBOX BEAST (6) finished fifth last time (23.51) at Warragul after winning at his previous three outings. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Expected to give a good account. JOEY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Warragul over 460m behind Dr. Fanatical (26.70) in a Mix 6/7. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Key runner on best form. DR. EDDIE (3) recorded a slick time in winning last time. Worth consideration.

Last start finished 6th in a Mix 6/7 on August 19 over 460m at Warragul behind Dr. Fanatical beaten 11 lengths (26.70). Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.

Hit the ground running last time with a hot early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 2.25 lengths (22.82) at Warragul. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Impressive performance to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 6 last start at Bendigo, clocking a brilliant 23.81 for the 425m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
