WARM COCKLES (1) made light work of the tricky draw with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.73) at this track over 515m. Can discover winning form. KING OWEN (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.46) in a Mix 3/4 at The Meadows. Has a good record at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from eight starts. Can measure up this time. PAW HARRIS (3) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (30.34) at The Meadows. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Worth another chance. I'M A MUSTANG (5) has strong credentials from this draw.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (29.73) over 515m at this track. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Missed the frame latest (30.46) when fourth over 525m at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.34) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Could manage only sixth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he recorded a superb 29.96 over 525m finishing second at The Meadows. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (29.73) over 515m at this track. Capable of taking this out.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Bendigo (23.76) beating Reckless in a Grade 5 H on August 15. Has run blistering time here with a 29.39 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.
